Is a vote really necessary for biodegradable lunch trays? I thought that would be a no-brainer?
I think the problem is that, by the time Monday's steak becomes Friday's "chef's surprise," the trays will already have started to disintegrate. That could get messy.
What happened to washing the industrial plastic trays that used to be standard?
That's my question! I wonder if too many stupid students were throwing them away instead of taking them back to the tray return...
It's not a matter of washing or not washing -- the idea is that when you throw away the standard industrial trays, they take 4 million years to biodegrade. The new trays would take only 3 million years.
I should add: When you throw the trays away when they get worn out.
Yeah, back in the day I remember using plastic trays and they would just wash them off.
I guess after 9/11 they thought the students would make shivs out of those plastic treys. That or they were just taking the cheap way out and not hiring a wash person.
Think of the money HISD could save on cleaning agents, water and manpower to wash those reusable trays?
And I think those try biodegrade in 2 million years not 3.
