What is ZERO WASTE?
Zero Waste means nothing is added to the waste stream (garbage).
A way to achieve this for “HOT LUNCH” students is to:
“Take what you want;
Eat what you take.”
Do not take more than you can eat from the self-serve bar. Eat all food, drink all beverage, and throw nothing into the waste stream and you can earn tickets to win a Slurpee or KROC Center pass!
LUNCHES FROM HOME
Please pack as close AS POSSIBLE to 100% Reusable Container Lunches instead of individually wrapped throw away items.
PACKAGING of items is a major use of natural resources such as petroleum products (plastic) that will deplete our fossil fuel reserves and mineral extraction to make aluminum and other packaging materials.
Buy food in bulk and use REFILLABLE/REUSABLE containers instead of disposables, like Capri Sun and other individually wrapped - made for lunch throw away items - that are not recyclable and have to be thrown away into the waste stream.
Thank you for helping us to reduce our carbon footprint and conserve our natural resources for future generations!
