Unfortunately, all those bags and disposable products leave behind a ton of waste over the course of a year, too. For example, most leftover food scraps can even be composted ( other than meat, of course ) so they can be brought home if a school or workplace doesn’t do composting. Of course, that’s only the financial savings.
