Thanks to the school\'s new zero. trash policy.
\"We are working to reduce the amount of waste that goes into the landfill,\" Knight said . \".
\"This is our planet. we can\'t destroy it all the time.
\"According to the new policy of Oak Hill, children must pack school lunches in reusable containers.
If plastic bags are used, they must be taken home and used again.
Commercial prepackaged food is prohibited.
\"We are trying to get rid of all these individually packed items,\" Knight explained . \".
\"They have to have a container for chips instead of a bag of chips.
\"The implementation of this policy is simple:\" If they take the garbage, they take the garbage home, \"Knight said. \".
School officials say the project, which began this year, is already reducing school waste.
But there are also parents who complain that the policy is too excessive.
\"I think it\'s great in some ways,\" said parent Amy Meisner . \".
\"But I think it really puts a lot of burden on children and adults.
She said: \"In order to meet the strict guidelines of the policy, Menashe had to buy a new lunch container for her two daughters and had to spend more time in the morning to fix the lunch.
Last school year, while trying to use plastic containers on her own, Mei Nash said her child had lost more than $100 worth of Tupperware.
\"If we send Tupperware to school, no one will supervise that it will go home,\" she said . \".
\"I understand why they do it, but there must be a medium of happiness.
The parent, Susan Kay, agreed.
\"It\'s a bit restrictive,\" she said . \"
\"But I think this policy is trying to teach us to change and focus more on ecology for the future.
