Do
you know what waste free Wednesday is? Well, it’s when you have no garbage in
your lunch every Wednesday. To have a lunch with no waste, you need to know
what to you can bring. It is much better for the environment if you have a
lunch with no products that go in the landfill. Finally, you might get prizes
if you take an environmentally friendly lunch.
To start, I will tell you what you
could bring in your lunch. You could take leftovers in a thermos, such as pasta,
soup, rice, etc. Any type of fruit or vegetables could be put in reusable
containers. Put your sandwich in a reusable bag or container. Last, desserts
need to go in containers as well. Remember, no single- serve packages or
plastic bags. Now, you know how to pack a waste free lunch!
In addition, you reduce the amount
of garbage that goes in the landfill if you pack an environmentally friendly
lunch! Only bring products that go in the compost or the recycling as well as
reusable products (TerraCycle included.) Every time most students in your
school bring no waste in their lunch only a ¼ of a garbage bag is filled
instead of ½ to a whole bag being used. On top of that, almost every school in
the Tahoma School District participates which helps the environment even more.
When you bring a waste free lunch you
could earn a prize. If you take a lunch with no garbage, put your raffle ticket
in the drawing box. If your name gets pulled at the end of the year, you will
get a product made by TerraCycle!
All in all, waste-free Wednesday is
an excellent way to help the environment. You know what to bring, the garbage
size is reduced with your help, and you may get a prize for participating. Now
that you know about waste-free Wednesday, do your part to help out the earth.
