I love take-out. In fact, during a two year stretch in New York City, I think I had take-out every night that I wasn’t dining out. It’s now 18 years later and I still get gifts from people saying things like “Keep a Clean Kitchen–Dine Out” and “My favorite thing to make for dinner is reservations.” You get the point.
Unfortunately, take-out is just so not green. The plastic and styrofoam containers, plastic forks, and napkin piles are brutal. But there are ways to make it GREENER and here are some good tips from GristTV.
Got any other tips for greening take out? Share away–they will go to good use.

This isn’t exactly about greening your take-out but I do worry so much about my kids eating on plastic and plastic-coated paper. I found this awesome line of kids glass tableware – see link above – that is stylish and retro and affordable. If you can’t green your take-out at least you can green your take-in!

Thanks Kirsten–I’ve been actually looking for kid-size, non-breakable, plastic alternatives. I love these–and worthy of a post in and of themselves.
