Connie's actions

At Work

Avoiding Allina Supplied Plastic Utensils

Many employees bring their own lunches, myself included. Yet, a majority of my coworkers don't bring a utensil from home and instead, use the black plastic utensils supplied by Allina. I keep a set of utensils in my personal space at work. I wish Allina would stop supplying the plastic utensils for employees. We have far too much plastic going into landfills. And when a person thinks about it, do you really like putting plastic in your mouth?

Advocate for Green Spaces
