Tin Lizzy's in Kennessaw, GA |
Yesterday I went to have dinner with my sister, who is attending Kennessaw State University. We ended up grabbing dinner at Tin Lizzy's, which has decent Tex-Mex food, especially if you are on a budget. I have tried to be cautious with my eating out habits, particularly with fast food, since it tends to generate a lot of waste. Tin Lizzy's is definitely a step above fast food though, so I thought I would give it a try. They had real plates, utensils and serving trays, instead of single-use disposable ones. The only time these sorts of restaurants cause you to produce waste is when you take your leftovers home in a Styrofoam box.
I could not finish my food, and neither could my sister. My sister asked for a box to take hers home, and the waitress ran off to grab two boxes before I realized that I should refuse. Since most take-home boxes are made of Styrofoam, which is not recyclable in my apartment building, I have been avoiding taking home my leftovers. However, when the waitress brought out our boxes, to my surprise and delight, they were labeled on the top as "Recyclable, Compostable."

I tried to do some more research into Tin Lizzy's to see if they had any other sustainability outreach, but I had no luck. So Tin Lizzy, if you can hear me, thank you for the compostable box so that I can enjoy my delicious buffalo chicken salad one more time, and if you have any more sustainable initiatives, I would love to hear about them!
