It’s a Debeers Diamond Commercial. No Wait, It’s An Eco-To-Go Ad

A bit ethereal and long winded in terms of getting to the actual message, this commercial for Eco-To-Go, urges us to consider the fact a plastic fork, which usually gets used once, takes 1,000 years to decompose.

It’s part of an effort to get people to order take out “Eco-To Go” which means without all the plastic utensils and added packaging. It’s also an effort to urge restaurants to use greener packaging.

Hey, here’s an idea. Why don’t people cook at home, eat with washable china plates and reusable metal forks. Or if we must order out, bring our own reusable containers to the restaurant when we pick up our orders. Yea, I know. That’ll never happen.
