Every year, the United States generates approximately 510,000 TONS of milk cartons. Milk cartons are also often unrecyclable, due to the plastic lining on the inside. This petition requires the John Burroughs School caterers to stop providing milk cartons and instead start providing milk dispensers. This will save the paper used in manufacturing the milk cartons, and in turn save the trees that the paper comes from. Not only will it save the trees, it will also reduce the amount of trash in a landfill by that amount. This petition will be sent to the headmaster of John Burroughs School in St. Louis.

I have been spending my lunches watching the trash cans overflow with empty cartons and it only strengthens my resolve to push the administration for a change. Conversations with the facilities team have begun to see what it would actually take to install proper dispensers in the cafeteria. Thank you for pushing this forward with me.

Seeing this much energy behind the move to ditch these cartons at school is overwhelming. I started this because I was tired of watching our lunchroom fill up with waste every single day, and knowing that so many of you agree keeps me going.
