The Problem
We wanted to reduce the waste in our dining hall. We started with the primary school lunches. First we started Finish Your Food Fridays to encourage our fellow students to finish their food. We wanted to see less in our landfill, recycling and composting cans. We eventually want to have a theme for each day of the week. Our nest one will be Waste Less Wednesdays. There will be no plastic used on Waste Less Wednesdays. Our dining hall staff agreed that nothing will be wrapped in plastic on Wednesdays. For example the bagels will be in a basket with a napkin covering them instead of individually wrapped.
