We're putting the emphasis on REDUCING by re-introducing
WASTE FREE WEDNESDAY
Students are doing a pretty terrific job cutting down on trash at the Brackett lunchroom, but we want to see if we can do even better by reducing the amount of packaging used to reduce the amount of material to be recycled as well.
IT’S EASY TO CUT OUT LUNCH WASTE. HERE ARE A FEW TIPS:
• Have children help pack their lunches with healthy food they like
• Pack lunch the night before in order to avoid morning rush
• Pack fresh food from bulk in reusable containers such as:
tupperware, ziploc snaptops, bento boxes, snack taxis, eco bags
• Cut big things into smaller pieces so uneaten portions can be saved for after school snack
• Avoid pre-packaged single serving items
• Include reusable cutlery, cloth napkin,
• Resealable water bottles and thermos
• Use a lunchbox or reusable sack
