Happy Earth Day. Let's see about reducing our plastic pollution this year! (Great post
here.)
Use reusables and just wash them, rather than plastic plates, utensils and cups.
I admit to carrying home each day the left over plastic ware that was distributed to me each day at lunch, so I don't throw away unused ones. But... I could just bring my own each day instead. What a simple plan. And reuse a cloth napkin rather than a paper one. So the food is served to us on styrofoam trays with little dividers. I don't have a choice on the plate. But I do on what I drink out of, and the utensils. Ha. That will delete a bit of plastic in land fills. I already refuse to use the straws that are provided.
Thinking I eat M-F usually at Lake Tomahawk's Senior Center, a.k.a. Center for Active Living. That's how many cups, forks and knives? 52x 5 = 260 of each! OK Barb, now go pack up a carrying bag to take each day...because you know as you dash out the door you'll forget it!
So back to Lake Tomahawk.

I admit there are rainy or snowy days, or days when I'm sick, when I don't walk around the lake. So these are the pictures when I am able to walk.
Happy Earth Day! What a pretty walk to celebrate the day.
ReplyDeleteBringing you own utensils is a great idea......one that should be spread far and wide.
What a good plan! And a good way to honor Mother Earth!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a beautiful location and nice to see it in different seasons; I never feel I know a landscape till I see it throughout the year. I really don't use much plastic apart from the stuff that shops insist upon wrapping everything in, and everything I use is washed and re-cycled. I'm still looking for ways to use less though.
