[VIDEO] Takeout Creates a Lot of Trash. It Doesn’t Have To

January 12, 2018

There are few things better than having dinner delivered directly to you, especially during these chilly winter days. But even the most basic takeout orders can have a significant environmental impact due to the plastic containers and utensils provided by many restaurants. This video shows the unsustainable packaging methods used by some eateries while also offering suggestions on how they can change their ways for the better.

Questions:

  1. How can restaurants benefit by reducing the materials they include in takeout orders?
  2. Should companies start focusing more on “reusing” materials rather than “recycling” them? How would you get this idea across to a wide audience?
