Sustainable Choices

Green Take Out
For home use or for commercial use, corn based food containers and throw away utensils and plates seem certain to help the environment. If you are looking to change your business ordering, companies such as Natureworks and EcoProducts offer corned-based alternatives to Styrofoam containers. Also learn more about bio-plastics by visiting web sites offered by PCC Natural Markets and the Nebraska Corn Board.

Green Take Out @ your library
The library is also offering its own take out container, as part of our participation in the Middlesex countywide Greening Our Valley Campaign. (See right hand panel of this blog for details). Great for book or grocery-toting, as well as quick trip travel needs, using the bag is also a great way to show your colors as pre-cycler and recycler!
