The Lunchbots that we carry are made from stainless steel. However, have you ever wondered what those little numbers (18/8, 304 stainless steel) on the wrapper mean?
Well, as far as the Lunchbot is concerned, it is comprised of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It’s also known as the 304 grade, which means it contains [...]
Some school districts (Portland, Oregon & Alexandria, VA just to name a few) have asked parents to switch to re-usable containers from plastic sandwich bags for enviromental reasons.
If you aren’t already doing so, you might want to consider purchasing a wrap-n-mat or a Lunchbot now, instead of waiting until it’s mandatory. Be sure [...]
Wow! What an interesting concept! My kids pack their own lunches for school. They use stainless steel containers and reusable sandwich wraps, which are machine washable. By doing so, they don’t add to all the waste which is generated by some of their other classmates, who use lots of pre-packaged foods such as [...]
Why not marinade them in a large stainless steel or glass container with a sliced red onion, minced garlic, lots of lemon juice, olive oil & salt. Stir well and put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours. This is a good side dish to make ahead.

sandwich in a lunchbot
stainless steel bottle
stainless steel spoon
Yogurt in a metal container
Too much hassle you say? Make the kids clean their non-disposable items when they get home from school.
I know that in most parts of the country, it’s too hot to have a picnic. However, when it starts to get cooler, here are a few tips:
Use second-hand tableclothes or fabric to replace those plastic, throw-away ones from the supermarket. Use stainless steel water bottles, sandwich carriers and fabric napkins. Even [...]
Everyday, at work during a break, I watch my fellow co-workers heat up their left-overs in a microwave oven using plastic storage containers . Much of the plastic is scratched and worn from continuous use. As the oven sends out its electromagnetic waves, chemical bonds break silently and invisibly into their food. It [...]

Every so often, someone comes up with a really good idea and does something about it.
