Waste-Free Lunch

Packing a Waste-Free Lunch

With school starting, this is a good time to think about the lunches we pack for our kids and ourselves. Typical American sack lunches produce lots of trash.
Waste-free lunches are not only a wise environmental choice, but they are less expensive as well.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
`Pack food in a reusable lunch containers instead plastic bags
`Avoid prepackaged, individually wrapped servings of food
`Use cloth napkins instead of paper napkins
`Use stainless-steel forks and spoons instead of plastic forks and spoons
`Use reusable drink containers instead of disposable juice boxes, juice pouchs, soda cans, water bottles, or milk cartons
`Use reusable lunchboxes instead of disposable paper and plastic bags
