Plastic Free Lunch
Zero Waste Lunch
Low Waste Lunch
Sustainable Lunch
Sustainably Conscious Lunch
How to label?
Labels can be informative, but also misleading.
Today's lunch -
Homemade crackers (no plastic packaging)
Tuna Salad (recycled the tuna can, bought the Mayo in a glass jar, the relish was my dad's homemade with ingredients from the garden, and the seasoning bought from a bulk bin at a kitchen store - no waste)
Apple (bought individually, no plastic bag, will compost core)
Cloth napkin.
Reusable containers.
Looks pretty good, right?
This is a pretty picture for sustainability.
But sustainability is so broad and so deep.
Was the tuna sustainably sourced and were the workers in every stage of the production paid a fair and honest salary?
Was the mayo produced in a sustainable fashion in every stage of production?
Was the Apple locally sourced, or was it transported from far away? Where the orchard workers paid a fair and honest wage?
I could go on.
Sustainability is overwhelming as it covers a broad spectrum.
But I believe that every little bit matters.
Buying Mayo in a glass jar instead of plastic even though it cost more.
Taking the extra steps to recycle the materials that are recyclable.
Buying fruit individually, even though it costs a little bit more, to only get the amount that I will eat so that nothing is wasted.
Little steps have a big impact.

Until next time,
