Quick Tip – Eating at Work

Rather than use your company’s disposable coffee cups, plates and utensils, bring in a reusable glass or plastic dishware set from home.  You’ll save plastic from being thrown away, use nicer platewares and avoid being the person stuck without a knife!

You could even use your own dishware when your company gives out free food in lieu of plastic & paper products.
