You always take something to eat to work. Some yogurt, salad, sandwich or dessert. And what do these foods have in common, besides calories? Waste. Everything comes in packaging that ends up in the trash at the end of the day. In the US, college students alone produce 30.4 kg of lunchbox-related trash each year, and the rest of us probably aren't any better. Packaging is a necessity, but thanks to the Tomorrow Machine, it is no longer a waste.
