On May 16, 2022, Cafeteria Culture in partnership with NYC public schools led the first citywide PLASTIC FREE LUNCH DAY! Over 750 NYC elementary school cafeterias had school lunch prepared without plastic, providing a first glimpse of a plastic-free school cafeteria future. This initiative was started by Brooklyn PS 15 fifth grade students who advocated for this citywide day!
Teachers, want to do more? Host a screening of MICROPLASTIC MADNESS, collect cafeteria plastic data with your students, and create your own campaign to educate your school community about the plastic pollution problem and to reduce single-use plastics.
