Tunas Hijau Go Plastic Free Shopping

The Tunas Hijau team, from Surabaya, Indonesia, were given one hour to buy lunch for the 35 participants at the Doing More With Less Sustainability Roadshow in Mandurah. Armed with a list of food to be purchased the students scoured the shops in the Mandurah shopping centre for items to go in the waste free lunch. Bread rolls, ham, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, relish, capsicum, fruit went down a treat back at the Bortolo Pavilion where the team were given a huge round of applause for the efforts. Only one plastic item which the Deli girl put the ham in before they had time to reject it!

The challenge was set the day before because the students collected all the waste from the first day's lunch and decided they could reduce their waste by thinking about reducing the waste as they were purchasing items at the shop.
