Waste-free what? You heard it...a waste-free lunch. On September 25th, pack food in a re-useable lunch bag and a canteen you can wash and use again. Use containers and utensils that will wash and pack a cloth napkin. Buy in bulk and scrap the individual serving bags or the zip bags. Save those items for field trips and other occasions. Be smart and create less waste. Thank you!
