Rather pointless point so apologies but I know a really slummy mummy of 7 and she also uses paper plates, plastic knives and forks and paper cups, out of sheer laziness and because she can't be bothered to do the work associated with the amount of kids she chose to have.
She also can't be bothered to recycle as she 'has better things to do'. They regularly have massive piles of bin bags that don't fit in their wheely bins
The environmental impact is horrific. Just reinforces to me that it's a selfish choice for the parents to have more kids than they can properly care for.
