Imagine walking into a canteen filled not with the scent of fresh food, but with the stench of plastic waste and the hum of energy-guzzling appliances. Is this the legacy we want to leave behind? Now, picture a canteen alive with the chatter of students, the scent of local produce, and the gleam of reusable trays — a place where nourishment and nature go hand in hand.
Every year, over 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans, much of it from food packaging. How much of that starts right here in our own cafeteria? Replacing single-use plastics with compostable materials or stainless steel alternatives isn’t just a dream — it’s a logical step toward protecting our planet.
You may ask, “Does it really matter what one school does?” But think: when a single spark can light a fire, why not be that spark? Other schools across the country have already made the shift, led by environmentally-conscious staff and student bodies. Why are we falling behind?
This isn’t just about waste — it’s about what kind of future we believe in. A student eating lunch should feel pride, not guilt. The image of a sea turtle tangled in plastic isn’t just tragic — it’s personal. It could be the future our choices create.
A canteen can be a place of pollution or of progress. One chokes the planet, the other nourishes it. Which side do we stand on?
Let’s not just serve meals — let’s serve a message. The fork in the road lies before us, and the choice is clear.
Will we eat today at the cost of tomorrow, or will we green our canteen and feed the future?
