Pine Grove encourages litterless lunches at least twice a week so we can lessen waste production. By doing this we are helping the earth, people and animals. As a school, we create so much garbage. Think about it... there are about 450 students at our school, if each one brought their sandwich in a piece of plastic wrap instead of a container... that's 450 pieces of plastic ending up in the landfill. Canada is such a big place with so many other schools that we have to watch what we put are lunches in. It's not even that hard!
What is a litterless lunch?
A litterless lunch is a lunch that contains no garbage, exactly its name. You can only use reusable containers and water bottles. Try to avoid using plastic bags or water bottles. If you have any garbage then take it home. You can even reuse some of it! For example tin foil, saran wrap and many more, you would even be saving money.
Why is a litterless lunch important?
When using containers or reusable water bottles it will help the environment and reduce climate change. Like we said before, if we do this we're helping the earth. Even people and animals that live on this beautiful planet. Speaking of beautiful planet, we don't want to ruin it by using plastic. Even if just some of us are doing this it would be helping OUR planet!
Pack a litterless lunch every Tuesday and Thursday, Pine Grove!
