Another Way to Cut Down on Single-Use Plastics!

Along with your reusable shopping bags in your car, keep small containers for leftovers at restaurants.  Since most places use Styrofoam, which is very bad for the planet and is not only not recyclable but takes years to decompose and has many harmful chemicals, your simple action can make a huge difference!  Even if a restaurant uses other plastics and even compostables, it’s still “single use.”  And it encourages more plastic to be produced or uses paper made from trees.  

If I’m going out for Chinese, I know I’m going to have leftovers and take Tupperware or glassware with.

YOU ARE A PART OF THE SOLUTION!
