Which is why we need equitable wages world wide. However, it is still a good selling point to the businesses. Some sort of campaign related to this would be great to see. Anyone heard of IOBY? It's kind of for pitching environmental initiatives in the city. Also, Seamless Web has a green feature, but I've checked it before and still received as much plastic crap and condiments with my order.

We need some easy lingo. Like please make that a "green to go" which would mean I need nothing but the food. Half green would mean I need condiments, etc. By the way, why are ketchup packs so small? Does anyone use less than five when they order fries? One large packet would be more efficient, garbage and time wise. Or is this just me? You are so right on this. We need some easy lingo.

Once people catch on to the idea that going green actually saves money, they'll change. It's an easy solution. Imagine how nice takeout would be if all the places used the dishes that they scoop out to you by serving you your on your own dishes. There would be no waste then. Maybe it's far-reaching as a goal, but if there was a savings and a "personal touch" spin to it, I think it could be a hit. Maybe we'll lead by example one day when we open the MSLK Sandwich Shoppe... Great post. Once people catch on to the idea that going green actually saves money, they’ll change.
