Packing a lunch and bringing it with you is not just for kids especially now.  Bringing your lunch, with the right pack, is not only eco-friendly but it is also econo-friendly.  You can pack it right so you eat well, eat healthfully, and save a whole lot of cash all while avoiding take-out containers and disposable packaging.

Also, have you looked at your child's lunch box lately?  Maybe you can smell it as you walk down the hall toward her cubby.  Perhaps there is no smell because it hasn't been seen since the second day of school.  This is the time of year that there is at least one thing driving you crazy about your child's lunch box:  it smells? it's impossible to clean?  most of the lids are missing or warped? it's just too big? it's too small? 

Here are some great lunch box and snack bag ideas as well as a link to more eco-friendly lunch box reviews.

Bon appetit.
