It has been reported that Aramark Higher Education is instituting a program at college campuses this school year that will divert more than 2 million disposable food containers from landfills. In the same spirit, here are a few suggestions on how to green your kid - or yourself - on the way back to the classroom.
- One of the simplest ways to 'go green' is to take a sack lunch. According to buygreen.com, the average school-age child eating a disposable lunch generates 67 lbs. of waste per school year, which equals 18,760 lbs. of lunch waste for only one average-size elementary school!
