Greener Lunch Containers

School is just around the corner, and now I'll be sending two packed lunches every day instead of one!

Last year my daughter, who was then five, had trouble opening plastic containers (and these were the Disney Princess ones, made for kids!!). I was forced to send zip loc bags for a few days until I was able to shop around for other containers with tabs on the lids that she could grip more easily.

This year I want to be more organized and have this stuff ready before the start of school (Sept 8th is their first day). I have only 2 or 3 of the kind of container that my daughter can open - now I guess I need to buy more.

Any excuse to shop - I'll take it ;)

I thought you might like to know about a couple alternatives to ziplocks and plastic lunchboxes. Checkout the Bazura lunchbox (made with recycled juice containers) and Wrap-n-mat as an alternative to plastic wrap or ziplocks. http://www.growandmake.com/green-home/sustainable-kitchen/green-lunch

They make lunch containers out of metal, my kids and I love them!
