Script

Eating more takeout lately? Me too. I'm trying to support my local restaurants as much as I can while
social distancing, and a takeaway is a delicious, convenient, and efficient way to do that. Not to
mention the much-needed break from cooking! However, my environmental guilt definitely creeps in
every time I pick up the plastic bag full of Styrofoam, salad-dressing containers, extra napkins, and
plastic forks.

While spending so much time at home, I've tried to live as sustainably as possible — I even switched
to a bamboo toothbrush — but takeaways are one area I struggle with. I want to support restaurants
and love going out to eat, so a takeaway is one of the few ways I can replicate that feeling. However,
the waste that it generates can be pretty substantial, and weighing that waste against the monotony
of another night cooking over the stove can feel impossible. And unlike a coffee shop, you can't
exactly show up at the restaurant with your own food storage container in tow. Thankfully, you don't
have to trade enjoying takeout for low-waste living as there are some ways you can make your
takeout a little more eco-friendly and support your local restaurants, too.

Lately, I've noticed that more and more of my takeaways have arrived in plastic containers with a
solid seal, rather than cardboard or Styrofoam. Even though they once held things like pasta covered
in sauce or “chicken lo mein”, they're perfectly good storage containers that can be reused! Wash
them well with soap and water, or run them through the dishwasher. I love keeping these on hand
for giving baked goods to friends and family, since you don't need to worry about getting the
containers back, and for meal prepping lunches.

While I occasionally pick up food on my way to an outdoor picnic, most of my takeaways get eaten
at home, where I have plenty of napkins and silverware. These seem like small costs, but they add
up for restaurants and for the planet. If you're ordering online, most forms have a section where you
can add a note about whether you need silverware or not. It's easy to do this over the phone or in
the checkout line as well. After all, I know those plastic forks just end up at the bottom of a drawer,
or worse, at the top of a landfill.

Most online ordering forms also allow you to customize your meal to either add or subtract
ingredients. Rather than just adding to cart, take a look and ask yourself if there's anything you won't
eat. If those candied walnuts or blue-cheese crumbles are just going to end up in the trash bin,
remove them from your meal. This might seem like a small step, but it helps prevent food waste and
keeps costs down for the restaurant, too.

 The next idea isn't always easy, as a takeaway is often either delivered or ready for you to grab when
you walk into the restaurant. But I try to bring my own bag. When you're checking out, just show the
cashier your bag and grab your food to go. Neither plastic nor paper bags are great for the
environment, and restaurants pay for them, so every little bit helps.

For those times when you can't bring your own bag, there are plenty of great ways to reuse and
upcycle both paper and plastic bags. There are plenty of ways to keep your bags from ending up in
the trash. If there's a receipt stapled to it, carefully remove it so you don't damage the integrity of the
bag.

And here’s a little secret…did you know you can even reuse aluminium foil? As long as you keep it
clean and don't tear it, aluminium foil can actually be reused indefinitely. As someone who's been
ordering a lot of takeout burritos lately, I was thrilled to learn this fact!

Finally, it goes without saying that if containers are compostable rather than disposable, compost
them. If a disposable container comes with a plastic lid, recycle it. I'm notorious among my
roommates for fishing plastic out of the trash, cleaning it out, and returning it to the recycling bin.
And of course, either finish, refrigerate, or compost any food you're not going to eat.

Being sustainably minded with your takeout choices doesn't just help the Earth, it helps restaurants,
too.
