HOW CAN YOU HELP?Reusing things mean that we
don’t waste it by throwing it in the garbage only to use another one
later in the week.
Bring your own utensils, cups or
bottles (plus coffee is a dollar less expensive if you bring your
own cup!)
We don’t have to throw away as
much (duh)
Less waste of food since you eat
everything that you brought!
