We need to get the school boards or the national PTA or the like to support and help spread a national non-disposable lunch program for all schools where kids have the option of taking lunch to school. All the school has to do is send a note to parents asking them to try and pack lunches which create no garbage. Credit to the Laurence School in the San Fernando Valley for having and instituting this idea. Tons of garbage are created by the ziplocks, foil and wrap we send to school with our kids every day. Containers, thermos, etc...no garbage, just wash and re-pack. DOE can you help?
