Reusable Sandwich Bags

I pack my kids' lunches three days a week. We use reusable lunch boxes but everything else inside gets thrown away. On average I use at least 3-4 sandwich baggies per lunch, per day. For one child, that's 12 baggies per week, 48 per month and 480 per school year. My daughter's school has approximately 800 kids enrolled. That would mean that just one school is throwing away 384,000 sandwich baggies each year!!! ONE SCHOOL!!! Holy Moly!! That's just nuts. And these aren't being recycled, they're being added to our many lovely landfills.

Before I did the calculations I always thought, "Man, such a waste." But now, I realize this is just crazy. I need to make a change, I want to make a change and now I can make a change, thanks to hip, innovative green moms out there who put their thinking caps on and created a great alternative. It just goes to show that each individual person can make a huge difference. 

They've come up with cute, washable, reusable snack & sandwich bags! Genius!! I haven't tried the bags yet but they look pretty awesome to me. Just thought I'd help spread the word on an awesome green product. Find Lunchskins HERE!
