Plastic Free Lunch Day

Why Plastic Free Lunch Day Matters

Plastic pollution is a pervasive issue that affects our oceans, wildlife, and even human health. Single-use plastics, such as food packaging, utensils, and bottles, contribute significantly to this problem. By participating in Plastic Free Lunch Day, we can take a small but meaningful step towards reducing our plastic footprint and embracing sustainable practices. 

EMS PTSA is facilitating a Plastic Free Lunch Day during the week of April 28th. Watch your email inbox for more specific information this coming week. We share details about the planned waste audit, how to pack a plastic free lunch, and more.

The Importance of Sustainability

Sustainability is about meeting our present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. It encompasses environmental, social, and economic aspects. Reducing plastic waste is a crucial part of achieving sustainability. Plastics take hundreds of years to decompose, and their accumulation in the environment poses risks to wildlife, ecosystems, and human health. 

Participating in Plastic Free Lunch Day is more than just avoiding plastic for a day; it's a statement of commitment to a more sustainable lifestyle. By making small changes in our daily routines, we can contribute to a larger movement that aims to protect our planet. 

Join us in celebrating Plastic Free Lunch Day and take a stand against plastic pollution. Every small action counts, and collectively, we can make a significant impact.
