Plastic Free Challenge - Day 21

-
Today's challenge is to "pack a litter-free lunch". What  that means is when you have finished your lunch there is nothing to throw away. Here are a few Waste-Free lunches on pinterest to get some ideas, and you will also have some snack ideas from day 19 of this challenge.


There are a lot of litter free lunch resources targeted to children, but adults can learn from these as well, especially if they pack their lunches for work:

Island Waste Management Corporation (IWMC) has a Wasteless Lunch lesson plan



Another great resource is the "Waste Free Lunch Challenge" designed to be a resource for classroom educators to raise awareness around the issue of waste reduction. The objective of the challenge is to reduce the amount of waste generated by schools and to engage students, teachers, and parents on the 3R’s principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.

Do you ever notice the pile of trash that is left over when you're done with your take-out meal? Our "throw-away" lifestyle has created tons of waste from single-use products that we use for just a few minutes. The environmental impacts on the planet from all the single-use items are enormous. For example: the average useful life of a "to-go" paper coffee cup, with the lid, the sleeve, the stir stick, and even the tray to hold it is 12 minutes! American consumers use 130 billion paper cups each year for coffee. That disposable coffee-cup habit uses 27 billion gallons of water, consumes 25 million trees, and generates 31 billion pounds of CO2. In Canada, nearly 90 percent of plastics end up in landfills, incinerators, lakes, parks and oceans. We can do better! We are determined to keep fighting for a cleaner and healthier world, and that’s why we are joining Plastics Thursday of the Waste Reduction Week, and we encourage you to do it with us!
