No more TO GO Food that is a NO GO for planet!

For the past month, I have faithfully been using my Stainless Steel Food Carrier in the heart of New York City! I made a commitment that I would never use another wasteful styrofoam container to carry take out food or left overs. What a life change this has been!

In the beginning I had to overcome some challenges. The food carrier is large and bit bulky, so I had to find a larger bag that would fit my laptop, my purse and work out clothes. Then I had to ask restauranteurs if they would pack my food in the food carrier. For the first week, I was confronted with resistance. But I found that I simply had to take my "food business" elsewhere, and only eat at places which would allow me to use my food carrier.

Being a bit of a fashionista, carrying a food carrier seems antithetical to the image of a fast-forward moving New Yorker. But quite the contrary, I have also found support from waitresses and friends who marvel at my endeavor.

Now I realize that the food carrier is a great piece of investment for myself, planet and people. People love good change, and I find that it is wonderful to exchange with others when I share what I am trying to do with just one stainless steel food carrier.
