Nude Food Tuesday Returns!

Do not limit yourself to preparing nude food lunches on Tuesdays, and instead make everyday a Nude Food Day! Here are some tips to help maintain the school’s dedication to being sustainable and always reducing our waste output.

  • Get a head start. By food prepping on the weekend, we are less likely to opt for those more convenient packaged options. Take time to pre-cut your fruits and veggies and keep them in a sealed container in your fridge. Your future-self will thank you!
  • Buy in Bulk. Choose bulk packaged popcorn, chips and other yogurt over those that are individually wrapped. 
  • Start baking. Do away with those expensive, sugar-laden packaged lunch box snacks and discover how much easier, healthier and cheaper it can be to make them yourself. 

Involving kids in creating their lunches is the best way to ensure that they will enjoy them. They will take pride in selecting items that are both healthy and environmentally friendly when they have the power to choose!

“Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” – Archbishop Desmond Tutu
