Plastic Egg Carton

In my bid to pay tribute to all things green, here's another "smart packaging" pic. DH bought eggs from Superstore yesterday, and I noticed that they didn't come in styrofoam :)

Not So Green Lunch Containers

Lately I've been noticing that my daughter's lunch has been coming back with her sandwich uneaten, still in its Disney Princess plastic container. The explanation, I was told, was that she couldn't get the lid open, forcing me to send her sandwich to school in Zip-loc baggies (which get too messy to be re-used), or plastic wrap.

Ah-ha moment: my solution was to get a different kind of container - one with a plastic tab on the side of the lid that she could use to open it. No more baggies and plastic wrap :-)

Such a simple thing, but I thought I'd post about it because it was something I myself had not thought of when I bought the first containers.
