On any given day, over 140 million Americans are at work, so at least 140 million meals are eaten in the company cafeteria, at the desk, or a the construction site.

What you can do:

• Avoid fast-food breakfasts.  They’re not very healthy options, and fast food corporations rely on monoculture, long-distance transport, and over-packaging.
• Brown bag your meals and snacks more often.  Bring leftovers from home in reusable containers, or recycle the paper bag.
• If you have a microwave oven in your workplace, reheat some leftovers you brought from home.
• Recycle.  This means carrying a bag or can until you find a proper bin.
• Encourage the company cafeteria to serve green and vegetarian options, and then select them.
• Order healthy foods for long meetings and stock the office fridge with fruit and other fresh snacks.
