My company (mid sized software company) tried to eliminate plastic spoons from the break rooms. Not for any sort of noble environmental reason, either, but explicitly to cut costs. You can buy them in cases of 1000 for $7.20. I am a shareholder, but not powerful enough to call for the termination of whatever bonehead thought that was worth more than 2 seconds of thought.

$20 says the company that cared about the spoons had a special bathroom for executives.
You'll have a hard time finding anybody to take the other side of that deal.
