Boomerang Lunch @ Jackman

Boomerang lunch... It's simple... what your child brings to school for lunch is either eaten or brought home.   There are no garbage cans available for kids in the lunch rooms.  Here’s why…

1.  Instead of ‘throwing out’ uneaten food, kids are asked to hold onto food to eat later.  No waste.

2.  Kids also take home unwanted food. This is done to spark a family conversation about food likes and dislikes.  Changes to lunches may be needed.  
      Less waste.

3.  Any packaging that is used for lunches is also sent home.  Hopefully this will spark another family conversation about reducing packaged foods.  Pack a litterless lunch instead. 

At Jackman, we’re working to reduce our impact on the environment and that means reducing food waste.  Boomerang lunch is a really good idea.
