WHO KNEW Bringing Leftovers Home Would Offer a Better Way to Go Green for the Holidays?

This holiday season many of us will be going out to restaurants with friends and family. Instead of bringing leftovers home in plastic, Styrofoam, or compostable containers that end up in the landfill, there is a better way. Bring your own containers from home. For years, my daughter has been taking a large bag with her to restaurants. In it she brings a metal box or glass mason jar for her leftovers. She simply transfers the food after everyone is done eating. I have a few plastic containers from getting take out that I can use as well. It doesn’t seem to be a messy job or to attract attention from other tables. I wouldn’t do this if it was a job interview or formal gathering, but my friends and family will appreciate me not sending more food or packaging to the landfill.

Happy Holidays!
