Disposable Dishes
An MIT group has invented a system which produces and recycles simple dishware - so you can have guests for dinner without worrying much about doing (or having enough) dishes. This is very cool. I don't use paper plates not only because they are wasteful, but also because they are so tacky. These acryllic plates may also be tacky, but they are unnecessarily high-tech, which makes it OK.
The one question I have is: if the material is molded by heat, are the dishes only for cold foods? How embarrassing if your coffee cups melted as your poured!
