Back to school season is coming and while we homeschool and usually eat lunch at home, we do still have the need to pack a lunch and take it with us on occasion. Usually we do this when we are going on a field trip with other homeschoolers. Sometimes Taylor and I like to go to the park to do school also and it’s nice to pack a snack or a lunch to take along also. In our attempt to be more green we have found some great products thanks to New Wave Enviro Products to help us do that with our packed lunches and snacks. They sent us a great stainless steel water bottle, a lunch bag, and stainless steel food container.
Right off the bat everyone in the family wanted the stainless steel water bottle. Hubby and Taylor both thought it was very cool looking with metallic blue color. It holds 1 liter of water and is easily refilled so we don’t have to keep using the plastic water bottles. In the end Hubby took claim of this because he wanted it for work to keep at his area. I think I will be picking up 2 more of these – one for me and one for Taylor.
The stainless steel food container is very nifty. It has nothing to leach into the food and is reusable forever. The lid locks in place with 2 clasps. Perfect for a sandwich, a small salad, fruit, or some chips. We used this to pack food and tuck inside the bamboo lunch bag. The lunch bag is made out of 100% bamboo – it is amazingly soft but yet super strong! It is also naturally anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic. There is a small closure flap at the top and 2 handles that make it very easy to carry even with your hands full.
I really like all of these products and feel good about using them. These types of products are perfect for kids too because they already seem to get the whole going green thing and accept it so easily. Buying items like this to show your kids that you care about the environment also is a great way to lead by example and it makes the kids feel good to help save our planet! There are no paper or plastic bags to throw away and take up the landfill and you don’t have to keep buying those expensive disposable bags all year either. You can find all of these items, plus several other great eco friendly items, at natural food stores nationwide – to find your closest location go to the store locator at NewWaveEnviro.com
