WHAT YOU CAN DO:

• Take home leftovers (reduces food waste).
• If you are not hungry, ask for a smaller plate at the counter (reduces food waste).
• Use returnable cups instead of disposable ones (waste avoidance).
• Opt for fewer meat dishes; we always offer vegetarian or vegan alternatives (climate).
• Use salt and pepper in portions: first try, and then take! Or bring it back to the counter or station (waste avoidance).
• Only take as many napkins as you need
