Coming to the Welcome Back potluck this Saturday? Here are 5 ways you can help make it green.

Potluck contributions (sign up here)

[1] Homemade dishes: Bring in your own dishware, labeled. If you need to bring it in something disposable, opt for aluminum trays… those are easily and efficiently recycled. Either way, use aluminum foil for covering instead of plastic wrap.

[2] Store-bought foods: Minimize plastic packaging as best possible.

[3] Skip the juice boxes/pouches: If you want to bring juice or lemonade, please bring large recyclable bottles. We will have paper cups.

What else to bring:

[4] Water bottle to refill.

[5] Optional! Ever considered bringing your own cutlery? Use your own, and take it home. It may feel weird, but I do it all the time :-). This reduces how much plastic cutlery we will use. We will have plastic cutlery on hand, and bringing your own is a nice habit to begin and normalize for the kids.
