On your next visit to Discovery Center be sure to stop by our newest exhibit! Build-A-Lunch is designed to help visitors investigate choices in generating as little trash as possible when making a lunch. Visitors decide the type of carrier in which to pack lunch, which type of packaging to choose for a sandwich, which type of snack to add, and which drink container to use. The exhibit helps identify information to consider when making choices such as whether the item is biodegradable, reusable, convenient etc. Build-A-Lunch was made possible by a grant from Community Foundation of the Ozarks, and is part of DCS’s Environmental Pathway program, a self-guided scavenger hunt that enables visitors to explore the variety of sustainable practices used throughout the LEED gold certified green building.
