- adolph 3y agoAs as an added benefit fewer people would waste energy traveling if it were made more expensive by upgrading all seats to business class.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI assume they don’t in economy due to weight, and the reason they provide it in business isn’t related to environmentalism. So we are just exchanging one negative (disposable cutlery)for more of another (more fuel consumption)?
- Ekaros 3y agoMy guess would be speed of service. If everything is disposable you can just chuck it in garbage sack and be done. But having to sort out each customers items when the cutlery can be wherever would take too long.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoYa, that makes sense. But more work would mean more employees which would also have a (monetary and carbon) cost.
