Resources for Consumers

Bring a reusable bag from home.

• If you have your own bag there’s no need to take another one from any vendor
• Keep a zero-waste food kit in your reusable bag whenever you are getting take-out or have take-home food from a restaurant.

Turn down disposable, single-use items:

• No need to take a disposable straw. Come by the Green Hudson booth where we will be handing out reusable straws. Bring them with you whenever you might be getting something served with a straw.
• Politely suggest to vendors that aren’t using compostable packaging and utensils that they consider doing so
• Thank those vendors that are using compostable packaging and utensils
