Green Goal of the Month - June

B and I like to go to dinner. Though we do it a lot less these days, we still eat an average of 2 meals out each week. B says he loves going out to eat with me because a) My sparkling personality always contributes to fascinating dinner conversation, and b) If I order an entree, I rarely finish it.

But sometimes, the man just can't eat it all. And because I am trying to be a less wasteful human being, I always take the leftovers home. So far, so good, right?

Here's the problem: Lots of places are still using styrofoam containers for leftovers. This website explains why styrofoam is bad for the environment.

Here's my goal for June: This month, I will purchase and begin using my own container for such occasions. To-Go Ware sells some cool stainless steel containers that would work perfectly. Easy to keep in the trunk, next to our shopping bags.

I think just with any new habit, it will take some time to remember. We still forget to bring our shopping bags in to the store sometimes. But I'm hopeful that this one will stick. Wish me luck!
