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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
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.

Did you know, according to a recent study,
that a number of aluminum water bottles [...]

How about this:

Yogurt in a metal container
Too much hassle you say? Make the kids clean their non-disposable items when they get home from school.
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 [...]
BPA that is. Coca Cola announced that they will not phase out bisphenol A, a known hormone disruptor, in their packaging of canned soft drinks. Apparently, there’s not enough scientific evidence to support it. That’s OK. I quite drinking the stuff after we did an experiment in school, where a tooth [...]
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.
