1. Reusable lunch bags- Replace the brown bag with something safe and sustainable. Reusable bags are better looking and better for the environment.
2. Food containers- Eliminating disposable packaging and single-serving items can save families $250 a year. Buy in bulk and use reusable containers to portion out your lunch.
3. Snack and sandwich bags- Families spend about $85 a year on disposable plastic baggies. Save money and resources with reusable bags and wraps.
4. Utensils and more- Napkins, utensils, even straws. Why throw it away when you can use it again and again?
