Why pack a waste-free
lunch?
 
You will feel great about
helping the earth by reducing
the garbage you throw away.
 
To keep your school yard
cleaner and free from litter.
 
A waste-free lunch is often
healthier!
 
Saves YOU and your parents
money because a waste-free
lunch often costs less.
 
 
 
A waste-free lunch may
include:
 
Reusable lunch bag
Reusable containers
Reusable water bottle
Cloth napkin
Reusable fork, knife, and
spoon
Fruit that comes in its own
natural packaging, such as
a banana or apple!
 
 
 
 
 
 
A waste-free lunch does
not include:
 
Disposable items such as
Plastic baggies
Plastic wrap
Aluminum foil
Paper bags
Plastic fork, knives, and
spoons
Any container that you
only use once before
throwing away.
 
 
 
Reduce comes first:
 
Reduce is the most important
of the 3Rs because it means
avoiding waste.  Even if
something can be recycled, its
best to reduce first.
 
Skip the juice boxes and
jammers – use a refillable
bottle instead!
Game day? Fill a reusable
bottle with FREE tap water
instead of buying bottled
water.  That way, you win
and the earth wins too!
 
 
 
Reuse, Reuse, Reuse!
 
Reusing in the secret to
making less garbage!
 
Take leftovers in a reusable
container to cut down on
food waste AND packaging!
 
Ask your parents to buy juice,
yogurt, crackers, cookies and
other snacks in large amount
and take only what you want
in a small reusable container.
This is called buying in bulk
and often saves money.
 
 
 
Our school challenge:
 
How many days do you think
you can go waste-free at
lunch?  Can you make waste-
free lunches for a full week?
 
By going waste-free you can
be an environmental hero!
Help our school be a true
environmental leader
by reducing, reusing and
recycling every day!
