With back-to-school officially underway in our household I thought I would share with you some tips for packing a waste free school lunch (or one with minimal waste).
- Use reusable lunch boxes and bags
- Use only non-toxic, PVC free, and BPA-free items
- Use cloth napkins
- Use reusable forks and spoons
- Use refillable drink containers
- Use refillable food containers
- Buy in bulk
- Use fresh food
To read more about each of these tips please visit Green Child Magazine where I share these tips and some recipe ideas in the Back-to-School issue, Packing a Waste Free and Healthy Lunch.
What steps do you take in your family to pack a greener lunch? Do you kids help out and think it’s fun?
