School’s in session and that means the daily ritual of filling the lunchbox is in full swing. Now might be the perfect time to reevaluate not only what you’re packing but what you’re packing it in.
Did You Know?
Over 20 million sandwich baggies are sent to our landfills every year, and each one takes between 500 to 1,000 years to break down
Americans throw away more than 60 million plastic water bottles per day
It’s as easy as 1-2-3 to find eco-friendly lunchbox alternatives that are safe for our kids and our planet.
Step 1 – Use BPA free, non-toxic containers and reusable baggies to fill their lunchbox with goodies they’re sure to love
Make this the year you stop throwing away all those plastic baggies. Invest just once in reusable products and save yourself money and guilt for years to come. Try getting a set for every member of the family and have fun packing your lunches together. Make sure you’re getting dishwasher safe products to make clean up easy and effective.
