Put away the single use plastics, grab reusable containers or brown bag, and join us for a conscious look at how much waste we can save when we change our behaviors. Delaware students lead the way today with less wasteful lunches for a better tomorrow!
On May 7, 2025, we launched Delaware's first Plastic Free Lunch Day where school cafeterias, local businesses, and individuals prepared and served a lunch either with as little plastic as possible. Inspired by the impact of the organization Cafeteria Culture and students of NY City, 6th graders from Maurice Pritchett Academy, led by their science teacher Ms. Karen Eller, conducted a school lunch waste audit to understand their waste load. They spearheaded Plastic Free Lunch Day in their school educating and running an awareness campaign, gaining support from administrators and staff to implement several changes for Plastic Free Lunch Day. The students then conducted a follow up audit on PFLD to understand the impact. These students showed great leadership and the potential all schools and businesses alike have to reduce plastic waste. Will your school or business join us in building awareness around plastic waste and pollution by committing to the Plastic Free Lunch Day?
