In our province, we generate more than 400,000 tonnes of waste per year – that’s 2.2 kilograms per person, per day! We can avoid much of this waste by reducing, reusing and recycling.
The Eco-Team has kicked off our first initiative-LITTERLESS LUNCHES! Students are asked to bring a lunch that has no waste.
A waste-free lunch may include:
- Reusable lunch bag/box
- Reusable sandwich container
- Reusable drink container
- Reusable containers (for veggies, yogurt, snacks)
- Reusable cutlery
- A cloth napkin
- Whole fruit
A waste-free lunch does not include:
- A paper or plastic lunch bag
- Sandwich baggies
- Individually wrapped lunches and snacks
- Disposable cutlery
- Paper napkins
Packing a waste-free lunch for your child not only helps cut down on the amount of waste we generate! Thank you for your support!
