So, do you want to know how you can do your part?
Start by doing your best to pack a trash free lunch.
The first steps are:

1. Reduce means to decrease the amount of trash. You can do this by getting things for your lunch that have less packaging. Buying a product in bulk, rather than in single serving packages, is one way of reducing. Snacks like bananas and oranges don't need any packaging at all.

             

2. Reuse means you choose things that can be used more than one time. Putting your food in storage containers and a lunch box instead of a paper sack is one way. Also, a lot of the things you throw away every day have other uses, like plastic grocery bags, plastic drinking bottles, and margarine tubs.

    

3. Recycling is when resources are collected and reprocessed to make new products. For example, aluminum cans can be made into new cans, or plastic bottles can be made into park benches or fence posts. At Hard Bargain Farm, we can recycle aluminum cans, plastic bottles, glass, bi-metal cans, corrugated cardboard, and newspapers.

   We also have another container for recycling organic materials from your lunch, things like apple cores, banana peels, cookie crumbs, leftover drinks, and peanut shells. Can you guess how these items get recycled here on the farm?

 

Now it's time for you to pack an earth-friendly, trash free lunch online in our Trash Free Lunch Game. Your lunch will be scored based on what can be recycled at Hard Bargain Farm (plastic drink bottles, aluminum cans, bi-metal cans, glass bottles, corrugated cardboard, newspaper and food scraps). Good Luck!
