Waste Free Wednesdays

By Alexa G. & Helena H.

You have all heard about zero waste. Now it has come into action. We now have Waste Free Wednesdays, where students are encouraged to bring a lunch that doesn’t produce any waste. By doing this we will be reducing the trash that ends up in the landfills. For example, we are encouraging all students to be aware and instead of packing food in plastic bags, packing them in Tupperware and reusable containers. Also instead of packing your lunch in paper bags you should pack them in lunch boxes. Instead of juice boxes and plastic cups and bottles you could get a reusable water bottle. Also, make sure you enjoy the lunch you pack so your food scraps are minimal. Remember that instead of just throwing things like applesauce and pudding into your lunch boxes transfer them to a reusable container so you don’t have to throw away the plastic container. Remember Waste Free Wednesdays!
