Food waste at the library

I am sitting in the cafe at the library and I can't help but take notice of all the excess food packaging I see. Hot drinks go in the disposable paper cups, while the cold drinks go into plastic cups with plastic straws. I see only one person with a reusable travel mug. Sandwiches wrapped in plastic film and sushi arranged in plastic containers. Then there are the vending machines dispensing individually wrapped snacks and drinks. The more frustrating part is that many of these things could actually be recycled in the bins provided for aluminum and plastic, but I have a feeling most of it will end up in the trash.
