If you're like me and like to hit that snooze button as many times as you can in the morning, you must often need to run out of the house without eating or packing a lunch which leaves you at the mercy of Take-out food for the day. 

Even if this is the case, you can still avoid having to waste paper-cups and styrofoam packaging by simply carrying with you a travel-mug and a reusable food container.  Okay so a travel-mug isn't so bad but asking your fast-food clerk to put your falafel and salad in a tupperware dish is potentially embarrasing, right?  Actually, I've only ever noticed two types of reactions; indifference and eagerness to help! 

If you're trying to pick up the habit, you'll forget your tupperware and to-go cup more than you'll remember for the first little while but don't give up!  It's like remembering to bring in your reusable grocery bags from the car, you'll get it eventually... it just takes time.
