Want to cut down on paper and styrofoam waste? Stop eating take out: No more pizza boxes, paper/styrofoam cups/hamburger holders, paper bags and fry holders.

I have to agree with you, but would you recommend for the people that do eat out due to a busy schedule, to make a concerted effort to recycle those materials?

I would agree it should be perhaps be recycled, but I have a better idea. When cooking a meal the night before, make enough to pack your lunch for the next day. This was done for many years for even large families. It only takes a few minutes. If one uses plastic sandwich keepers as opposed to baggies or saran wrap, there is no waste except for the renewable napkin.
