Green Team Promotes Plastic Free Lunch

Half Day’s Green Team is leading the charge in reducing plastic and waste in the cafeteria by promoting eco-friendly habits among their classmates. They encourage everyone to bring reusable containers for their lunches as seen in these pictures, cutting down on single-use plastics. Additionally, students are learning to properly recycle milk cartons, compost organic material, and sort other recyclable food packaging, ensuring that waste is disposed of responsibly. Through teamwork and education, they make the cafeteria a greener, more sustainable place while setting an example for the whole school community.

The Green Team consists of about 15 students in grades 3-5. As part of the lunchroom activities, Quest Food, the district’s lunch company, participated by handing out compostable eating utensils for the week!
