I'm not talking about salads here, although I did have a delicious one today. I am referring to the reusable containers I use each day--even my water bottle is a Rubbermaid refillable one. No brown bags for me, I use an old French macrame market bag that is so old it is back in style again. It's a relic from my Earth Mother days back in the 1970s.
Packing lunch with the earth in mind may not save the world but it is a small daily way to reduce constant consumption of plastic water bottles, disposable containers and plastic or foil wrapping paper. I bring my lunch to work roughly four days a week and I'm happy to say I rarely have any packaging waste other than a paper napkin--I guess I could use a cloth one, but I'm not quite there yet...something to aspire to I suppose.
Small changes are capable of having a huge impact when employed by the masses. The planet will benefit and so will generations to come.
How green is your lunch?
