For a lot of people this means that vacation time is over, and it’s now time to get back to rou- tine. The routine includes go- ing back to school and college for many of us. Most school and college stu- dents are-aware of environ- mental issues and care a lot about the future of the world. Why not start off the fall semester by making a commit- ment to doing something worthwhile for the environ- ment?

It is not recyclable, since it is made of several ma- terial types all bonded togeth- er. Usually these packages are sold with plastic straws at- tached which also end up in the garbage after only one use. Better alternatives would be to have a thermos or Tup- perware-type container to put drinks into. Even all-alu- minum cans are better, since they may be recycled rather than tossed into the garbage. If you wrap sandwiches, cook- ies and other foods in wax pa- per or plastic it usually results in the wrapping material be- ing thrown into the garbage after one or two uses, On the other hand, if you had Tupperware-type contain- ers they could be washed and reused repeatedly. Another benefit to these containers is that they are an ideal place to put fruit peelings and apple cores into to bring them home to put into your compost. Single-serving items such as pre-wrapped cookies, cheese and cracker packs, and small containers of pudding and yogurt are also bad news. It’s a lot better to buy in bulk and then prepare your own small-sized servings without the wasteful packaging.
