Green Team
Waste FREE Wednesday Lunch
UPark's Student Green Team is working hard to reduce "landfill" trash! Please help by packing lunch with washable, reusable or compostable containers on Wednesdays or once a week.
Our lunchroom has a compost can for food scraps and napkins. We hope to avoid using plastic baggies and wrappers.
UPark students have seen sample Waste Free Lunchboxes. Here is a

showing how to pack a Waste Free Lunchbox.
Thank you for being "GREEN".
