In order to reduce non-recyclable trash at lunch, our students have been observing "Zero-Trash Lunch." BPC has challenged students to pack a lunch that generates no landfill trash. By using containers for solids, drinks in re-usable bottles, and brown bags or 'green' lunch packs to carry their lunch, students have been reducing local landfill.

“Zero-Trash” lunch days were started by our environmental education teacher, Liza Malm. “Students are encouraged to think about their buying and eating choices and the impact on the cycle of waste transmission from purchase to plate to landfill.”
