ChopSwap

3.8 million trees are cut down annually to make 57 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks. ChopSwap lets you trade for reusables you can take with you!

“You can’t throw anything out. There is no “out.” - Buckminster Fuller '76 in Vancouver, BC

Greenpeace East Asia estimates at least 3.8 million trees get cut down every year to produce 57 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks that go directly to landfill. ChopSwap is an easy way to be a zero waste hero:

1. Bring your collected disposable chopsticks to one of our depots.
2.

Swap them out for a reuseable pair.
3. Take with you when dining out.
4. Say no when ordering to go. All ages can participate and it has ongoing appeal--later in the year people can see what happened to their swapped chopsticks on our website and social media. Get in touch -- follow us here and on twitter to find out where you can make the swap today!

Choose to re-use! Do the ChopSwap! Trade your single use chopstick stash for a pair of reusable ones on Earth Day at Trout Lake.

Single use chopsticks can pose health risks due to the harmful chemicals used in production. They’re also terrible for our environment because 90% of single use chopsticks go directly to the landfill and, if irresponsibly disposed of, can contaminate water and soil quality.

Join ChopSwap in working towards eliminating disposable chopsticks in Vancouver and better the health of yourself and our environment!
