With almost every restaurant adapting to takeout and curbside pickup
orders during the pandemic, single-use takeout containers, utensils,
straws and napkins have definitely multiplied.
It is so
important to continue to support local businesses during these times,
especially restaurants that are struggling to keep their doors open. And
ordering dinner from your favorite restaurant is a nice break from
cooking once in awhile. (Even though I love to cook, I get burnt out on
doing it as often as I have been, and look forward to treating the
family to some restaurant food!)
So during Plastic
Free July, I came up with a list of locally/regionally owned restaurants in
Acadiana that use plant-based or plastic- and Styrofoam-free packaging.
Not only are these some delicious restaurants, but you can also feel
better knowing you aren't contributing to more plastic and Styrofoam
waste.
