take a little at a time at buffets.

today we will take a little at a time at buffets. WHY Food in landfills breaks down into methane. Landfills add about 50 million tons of methane a year. We will reduce those methane emissions by wasting less at buffets. *that's like burning 1 billion tons of coal HOW Take less than what we initially think we need from a buffet. If we're still hungry, get more. Finish what's on our plates. Save any leftovers for a meal or snack later.  From Subscribers on this tip: Laura S. "Thanks for this! What kind of reusable bag do you use for bulk?" TWW Reply "I use a cotton bag that I found at my local health food store. Don't have one near you? Etsy sells a lot of them, and you can search for shops near you to keep shipping emissions down." Ingrid T. and Meghan N. both asked about lined coffee bags. TWW Reply "Great question! It really depends on which store you're in and what types of bags they source. Some have linings and some do not. The bags with plastic in them cannot be recycled at most facilities, unless you are able to remove the lining.  Check to see if your store does, and ask them if they would consider switching if they do have a plastic lining. The paper bags with linings still use less plastic than a typical plastic bulk or produce bag, so I'd still stick with the paper one. Try and reuse it, or buy a fabric reusable one to have the lowest impact!"
