How to Pack a Green Lunch

With school back in full swing, make sure that you’re doing your part to pack an eco-friendly lunch. You can follow this simple checklist to make your kids’ lunches as green as possible:

• Ditch plastic bags (sandwich and grocery) and use reusable containers like Tupperware, lunch boxes or lunch totes.

• Pack foods that don’t require heating.

• Don’t send something you hope just they’ll eat (but know they won’t).

• Make a sandwich that saves the world.

• Make sure to send along brain food, as they will surely need it for the remainder of the day.
