Decline the Extras

We may be used to passing on the whipped cream on our triple mochas or saying no to supersizing it, but let’s make sure we’re also declining all of the extras elsewhere. Remind the person taking your order on the phone that you won’t need plastic utensils or paper napkins with your order (and that lost-lasting plastic bag they’re wrapped in). If you’re eating it at home later, tell the drive-through folks you don’t need any condiments. Skip the double and triple bagging if you really don’t need it. Reduce waste by nixing the stuff we really don’t need.
