English term or phrase: green-friendly folks can go back for seconds and thirds without guilt
Remember, Comerica Cityfest is a fundraiser, so the more food visitors sample, the better. Food and beverage purchases support the free entertainment at the festival and the community services provided year around by the New Center Council. Also, green-friendly folks can go back for seconds and thirds without guilt because each vendor is prohibited from serving on Styrofoam products.

agree  Sheila Wilson: environmentally-friendly packaging I can identify with (styrofoam is particularly bad) but e-f. food sounds really weird

agree  Andrew Levine: because normally if you went back for second or third helpings, you'd have to get a brand new plate.

neutral  Tina Vonhof: Agree with Sheila: it's not the food that is environmentally friendly - it is environmentally conscious people who can go back for more helpings without worrying about leaving behind a lot of bad garbage.
