HOW CAN YOU HELP?Reusing things mean that we

don’t waste it by throwing it in the garbage only to use another one

later in the week.

Bring your own utensils, cups or

bottles (plus coffee is a dollar less expensive if you bring your

own cup!)

We don’t have to throw away as

much (duh)

Less waste of food since you eat

everything that you brought!
