A small victory for the environment: tupperware take-out success

Chinese Take Out Boxes

Congratulations on your success. Have you thought of using traditional Chinese Food take out boxes instead. They would be less conspicious than a big glass bowl (collapsable, easy to pop-up for use), and are reusable and much more recyclable than styrofoam.

There's a shop a few doors up from the old City Hall (Heritage Hall) on Main street (sorry forget the name) which sells reclaimed cast offs from various industries to teachers and crafters. I see chinese take out boxes there (in various sizes) quite often.  

Plastic free. Cruelty Free. Vegetarian. Chocoholic

Good suggestion, and I get where you're coming from, Envirowoman - it's embarrassing to call attention to yourself. But for those who are feeling brave, maybe this is a case of the more conspicuous, the better.

great point! a great opportunity to lead by example. 

I just wanted to share that I did this with my lunch today. Even though the place I go to uses biodegradeable containers, it still feels good not to be wasteful. 

It's great to see someone making a real difference with a simple choice.  Kudos to you!

I think it just makes good enviro sense.  Why should we have to take our food in a styrofoam container instead of in our own, if we so choose?  It's a shame how much garbage we unnecessarily create.  I can only hope that if people lead by example, others will eventually follow suit.

People may give you a funny look, but the more you do it, the more comfortable you'll be.  I have even brought my container to McDonalds for hotcakes.

Focus on the green that really matters.
