Reduce, reuse, recycle. These are words that so many of us try incredibly hard to live by. When we have the good fortune to work for a place that also strives to make those words an integral part of its business ethic, it provides us—as individuals and employees—with the support and opportunity to push ourselves even harder to make choices that fall in line with this credo. Such is the case in my situation. When I took over as the Assistant Deli Manager here at the Willy Street Co-op East, one of the most irritating, difficult projects I undertook was to find a way to make our Deli containers more eco-friendly. At the outset I figured it would be a challenging task, but one that would have a relatively basic, easy solution—I just had to find it. Well, it has been challenging and there has really been no easy solution, up until this point. Now, because of some happy coincidences, things have started to move in the direction I was hoping to find.
