Your child could save 67 pounds of garbage a year,
by eliminating all that daily wasted plastic and paper from their lunchbox.
Lunch is everyone's favorite subject.
But if your child is taking a brown paper bag filled with baggies or pre-packaged snacks to school every day, that adds up to a lot of trash.
Invest in a
lunchbox, and if they don't already come with it, reusable plastic containers, cloth napkins and a thermos.
And don't forget to lead by example and start toting your own lunchbox to work.
They don't always have to be covered with monster trucks or princesses.
