Lauren Tierney 4/28/2023 5:40 AMWe had an office BBQ yesterday and in reviewing how it went we started brainstorming some ways we could try to make it more sustainable in the future. Two big ideas are to shop in bulk to reduce the amount of packaging associated with the food, and secondly to use reusable silverware/encourage folks to bring real plates instead of using paper plates. It's not feasible in our current office to use 100% real plates, so we intended to collect and compost any paper plates and napkins next time.
