School Lunch Waste We've
all
come
to
depend
upon
school
lunch
throwaways
to
keep
us
moving
speedily
 through
each
day,
but
such
conveniences
come
at
an
environmental
cost:
the
need
for
 energy
 and
 resources
 used
 to
 bring
 those
 meals
 to
 the
 school
 cafeteria
 and
 the
 con<nued
increase
in
the
number
of
landfills
and
garbage
incinerators
clogged
up
with
 trash,
which
ul<mately
belch
out
hazardous
emissions.
 A
 waste‐free
 lunch
 program,
 that
 includes
 students,
 parents,
 and
 school
 staff
 educa<on
 about
 the
 provenience
 of
 our
 meals,
 about
 where
 our
 trash
 ends
 up
 and
 how
we,
as
individuals,
can
reduce
the
amount
of
trash
we
generate,
can
save
<me,
 money
and
the
environment.
