Lunch Box Litter



We decided to see just how much litter our class left at school after lunch each day. We collected the litter from our lunch boxes and separated it into compost and plastic rubbish. We were very surprised to see just how much good food was wasted each day (it weighed 4 kilos!). When we examined the food that was wasted we decided one reason was that big pieces of fruit were difficult to eat and took a long time when we were keen to join our friends on the playground. We decided to ask our parents to cut up our fruit to make it easier to eat. We also thought we could bring food to school in small washable containers instead of wrapping it in plastic to save creating lots of litter.
