Give this a try – a zero waste lunch

Sustainability Tip of the Week #STOTW

What is a Zero Waste Lunch? Simply put, it’s a lunch that generates no (or very little) trash.

In a zero waste lunch everything can be eaten or reused. Here are some tips to help get you started:

Use a Bento or similar lunch box or reusable insulated bag instead of a brown paper bag, to hold your lunch every day. A reusable ice pack can be used to keep perishable food items cold. Many Bento lunch boxes come with utensils.
Use reusable containers that can be washed and used over and over instead of using disposable plastic sandwich bags for sandwiches and snacks.
Use metal silverware or wash plastic utensils and reuse them.
Use a thermos or reusable jug instead of a bottle of soda or a juice box. Trending now – Hydroflask or Yeti
Buy in bulk and pack individual servings in reusable containers.
Use cloth napkins that can be washed and reused instead of using paper napkins or paper towels.
Compost the remainder such as the skin of an orange.
