"A recent
waste audit in Berkeley (California) Unified School District determined that
the district was spending on the average of $26 per student for waste
disposal, or a total yearly cost of $225,661 for the district. A large part
of this figure is waste generated from school lunch. School meal programs,
even when lunch is brought from home, are significant generators of landfill
waste."
