"In Japan there is a "my chopsticks" movement because the wooden disposable chopsticks are a waste of resources. But people miss the feeling when they pull them apart. That is ritual is the starting sign of the meal.
"Stickpecker" is a solution for that. The Magnet resembles the feeling of pulling apart wooden chopsticks. Also the wood pecker and wood design reminds you of a peaceful forest that you are protecting at that very moment. You can say good bye to the wooden ones. Acrylic." ¥3,570

I always thought the disposable ones were bamboo, and bamboo is a grass that grows extremely fast;so I never felt bad about using them and throwing them away. Am I wrong?

Yeh, I thought the same before but unfortunately not. Most are just simple cheap wooden ones (or at least I know they are in China anyway) and in a lot of restaurants and especially street vendors they are only used once and then thrown away... Either way these look pretty cool to me
