Why Litter-less Lunches Are a Win-Win

Cberman — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:11:19 +0000

This posting is meant to outline the benefits of a litter-less or waste free lunch for everyone involved.

What is a litter-less lunch? According to EcoSchools it is a lunch that “contains no throwaway packaging or food leftovers. As a first prioriy, lunches are packed in servings that will be completely eaten. To avoid any packaging, all food and drinks are packed in reusable containers within a reusable lunch bag or box. All containers are resealable, so that leftover food and drink that is not eaten can be consumed (or composted) later.”

Schools across the United States and Canada are starting their own litter-less lunches and Litter-less Lunch Fundraisers and for good reason:

Schools

Students are taught a very simple and effective means of implementing the 3 R’s.
Simplifies the clean-up time needed during lunch hours.
Are able to proudly quantify the waste they successfully averted.
Help to raise funds that can be used to help fund a green team, start a school garden and composting system or for other great uses.

School Boards

Reduce waste disposal fees. Up to 75% of school waste comes from the lunch room.
Alleviate the work load of custodians board-wide.

Parents

Due to investments in products such as reusable containers and purchasing food in bulk rather than single serving sizes, families quickly begin to see the savings.
Are provided with affordable, non-toxic products to help make packing a litter-less lunch easy.

Environment

It goes without saying that by reducing, reusing and recycling, our environment stand to benefit.

We hope that you will consider litter-less lunches and Koru Fundraising as a way to celebrate Earth Day on April 22 this year.

All the best,

Corey
