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 [...]
According to a recent government study, ingested bisphenol A (BPA) is quickly elinminated in the urine. BPA was almost undetectable in the bloodstream, even when urine levels were high in the adult participants.
The lead researcher, Justin G. Teeguarden, PhD, of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Wash, commented that the odds of BPA [...]
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 [...]
Labor Day Weekend is just around the corner and what a great time to have a family picnic. I takes minimal planning, once you have the right equipment.
First, you’ll want a picnic basket that’s big enough to carry all of your reusable, stainless-steel-containers, plates and utensils. Preferably one with shoulder straps, so you [...]

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.
They are back in stock. All four different lunchbots are available now.

Every so often, someone comes up with a really good idea and does something about it. My hat goes off to Jacqueline Linder, who couldn’t find any plastic-free containers for her family, so she designed her own. Thus, Lunchbots were created. They’ve really filled a need out there with the public. They’re [...]
An interesting article in Babble points out that many 7 & 8 year old girls are entering puberty. This trend (girls starting pubescence at an earlier age) has been going on since the mid 1800’s. Some of the possible causes are: improved nutrition and lower incidence of disease, not having a biological [...]
According to The Environmental Working Group, they are part of the “Dirty Dozen”, a group of vegetables and fruits that contain loads of pesticides. (if you want to see the full list, click on the link). Of course, I just picked up a dozen nectarines the other day at the market! I [...]
