Packing a Waste-Free Lunch for my daughters is very important for the environment and also for setting a great example for my children and my students at school.

Packing a waste free lunch is important to me, because it's better for the environment and better for my kids because the materials are safer. It's also nice to buy something once rather than constantly buying and throwing away which saves us money.

I try to do whatever I can to protect myself and the environment. Packing a waste-free lunch is so important to me, and is a relatively easy thing to do! Not only can I be sure I am not exposing myself to toxins, but it also reduces my contributions to landfills.

As a teacher I see bags and bags of garbage going to the landfill after every lunch period. It bothers me that children are eating so many foods that are prepackaged and unhealthy. A waste free lunch is hopefully a healthier lunch and free from unhealthy chemicals. In the schools we strive for litter-less lunches and healthy meal choices.

Using reusable items for lunch and snacks makes me feel better about the environment. It also gives my children a good example to follow.

books4me said...

A waste free lunch is important to me because I grew up in a state where we recycled and were careful of packaging. I grew up this way and I continue to do this way to put less in the landfill and to make sure nothing leaches into my child's food! In addition, it teaches another generation how to do it right!

Being able to pack a lunch (which I do everyday as a university student) and to waste the least amount possible is not only important for the environment, but it's important to set an example to my niece and to others about a better way to waste less. The more people that can be taught how to reduce their waste, the better off we will be later!

I have always packed my boys' lunches in re-usable containers for their safety, for the environment and well, for my budget too! As a former teacher, I knew first-hand how daily lunch disasters were harming our environment. We have to teach by example. My oldest is going into grade 11 and I still fill his lunch bag with 4-6 glass containers and sometimes your handy sandwich enveloppe, each day. One day, as he was leaving for school I asked him how he felt about all these little containers, and he said the other kids told him he was lucky to have such nice lunches. I almost cried.
By the way, I receive your e-mails.

I feel that packing a waste-free lunch is important for our son to see. It's important to instill in him respect for our environment early on so he will be more responsible as he grows up. Teaching him the 3 R's today will lead to a better tomorrow. Bit cheesy, yes, but true. :)

Tanya said...

Packing a waste free lunch for my boys is both important for the environment and also for our budget. My oldest son has fine motor issues too and we found that plastic wrap and baggies caused him to come home with most of his lunch uneaten as a small boy~ it took so much time to peel off all the wrappings that he didn't have time to eat! Waste free containers really helped him with this and help me to know how much lunch to send too :)

I feel that packing a waste free lunch helps me and my family to eat better. When I use reusable containers, I have to think about what's going in them, instead of mindlessly tossing in prepackaged food. I also find that unique lunch containers and drink bottles invite questions from others and give an opportunity to educate them about creating less waste.

Why is packing a waste free lunch important to me... For various reasons. Initially there is the benefit to the environment, but alternatively, it also saves tonnes of money over the course of a year. There is the added benefit that it sets a great example for your kids and inspires them at a young age to be aware of what they do on a day to day basis.

Packing a waste free lunch makes it easier to send (and take!) a healthy lunch with more interesting foods. My son enjoys discovering what's inside all the containers and subsequently eats a larger variety of food for his snack and lunch. Not only do we produce less waste, it's healthier for us as well.

Heather McKinnon said...

Packing a waste free lunch is important for many reasons, but mainly for me there are two very important reasons. 1: To keep Mother Earth clean and healthy. Without her - we are nothing. And 2: To teach my daughters early on that its important to love where we live. To help reduce our impact on the earth.

A waste-free lunch is very important! When meals are packed to go, it is common to find items for the meal contained in extra packaging, plastic, cans, etc. The best wrapper is what mother nature provided (apple peels, etc) and using a reusable bag/container will eliminate the need for throw away bags!

As a big fan off your products and as a family we are making the commitment to lead a more eco green way off living.Whats a great way to start as we mean to go on with our children who are in on the idea. Packing a waste free lunch for my girls is a great start as it shows people that you can pack a lunch with out the plastic bags that we cannot reuse at the end off the day and that end up on the landfills site. Not only by packing a sensible lunch bag we are reduction the potential health risks associated with all the plastic and vinyl products that can leak into foods and harm the children. so heres to a new nation off going green and our children are the key and future to our planets life and for their children to come.

I want my children to waste not, want not and making sure that their lunches are "Waste Free" is important to all of us..we recycle, reuse, and replant..We make sure that they will eat what is packed and that the containers are things we can wash and repack..fair-trade is also very important to us..we have never shopped Walmart and such and are always on the look out for ways to support our earth!

I think it's important to start with our children and teach them the importance of saving our planet. It's important that they learn that every little bit helps.

amber hudson-o'brien said...

I want to teach my children what waste-free is and how to practice it daily even in the little things. There is nothing quite as satisfying as hearing my daughter say "why don't you bring a water bottle then you wouldn't have to buy one." There is no better way to teach my kids than to practice what I preach and sending them to school with waste-free lunch is just one way to do that.

My family tries to be Environmentally Friendly, but so many GREEN items are expensive and we have trouble making ends meet as it is. Ultimately, we end up putting off buying them until "we have more money". A waste free lunch kit would help me teach my daughter respect for the environment, to appreciate the things we have, and that not everything is 'disposable'. It would also help us to save money by not having to buy single use items.

I try to teach my children to care for the environment by living what I preach and setting the example. Packing a waste-free lunch for my son is a way for me to get that message across to him, without even having to say the words. He knows exactly why I pack him litterless lunches, and he's proud to take them to school. Of course there is also the added bonus of saving money, woo hoo!

I hate garbage! I hate seeing garbage thrown carelessly on the ground even more!! Sending my daughter to school with a litterless lunch is an example for the other kids, and, I hope, contributes to a cleaner school yard and classrooms, just for starters. Using non-leaching, non-toxic products is a no-brainer when you understand the long-term dangers. Also, using litterless lunch containers means I can buy in bulk (less packaging and cost), AND I get to see what hasn't been eaten when it comes home so I'm more on top of the nutrition angle.

Packing a waste-free lunch is important to me because I am trying to teach my son that even the smallest actions can make a difference in the world. A single snack-sized plastic bag may not seem like much, but multiply it by hundreds of students over hundreds of days and suddenly the impact is much greater. And that's just from one school!

My daughter is starting preschool for the first time in a few weeks, and I've been torn with what to send her to school with. It is so important to me to provide her with safe, non-toxic lunch kits simply because I lover her with all my heart and will do anything i can to protect her! Teaching her to be litterless is VERY important to me, because I know she is the next generation coming up that needs to learn to value the beautiful earth she lives on. I want her to respect this world and everything in it!!!

packing a waste-free lunch is so easy, and it prevents all that random garbage from ending up in the dump and/or the oceans (through the storm drains)!

I think by teaching my daughter to be aware of the little steps she can take to protect the world in which she lives, her life will be filled with compassionate and respectful habits towards her environment.

Packing a waste free lunch is important to my family because it's good for the environment, our pocket book and usually our waist-line as well!

We are now starting our third year of making waste-free lunches. It's a way of life and something I want to model for our children. We only have one earth and we need to treat it with respect. We have very little control over how our food is packaged/processed, and if I can choose containers that won't negatively affect the health of my children, I will do so. I just went out today to buy more stainless steel containers for our youngest who starts Kindergarten next week!

I work for the municipality of a large city were we collect glass,tin,paper and plastic recyclables. We also collect garbage! Hundreds of thousands of tons of garbage! Seeing this day after day, well, is a bit disheartening. So, as you can imagine, I, for one, refuse to put any more garbage in the dump than is absolutely necessary ! Packing a Waste-Free lunch is very important to me and has been an easy thing to do for years now. Having a $100+ Waste-Free Lunch Kit from Lavish and Lime would be like having the cadillac of lunch kits!
I Like Lavish and Lime Facebook Page and posted there : Use this link : http://bit.ly/nCQlJE for a chance to help save our planet

We have been packing waste-free lunches for a couple years now, and it makes me feel good to be teaching my kids why we don't want to create more garbage than we already do.

Packing a waste-free lunch is so important to me because it shows my daughters and others that taking care of environment is a priority and a necessity. It is not only super important, but it looks good too!

This is important to me because I want my kids to understand from an early age how important it is to take care of our planet and to live as lightly as possible.

packing a wastefree lunch is such an easy task, yet so important. less waste in landfills, less chemicals on our foods, and saves money.

Packing a litter free lunch is important not only because of the impact on the enviroment now but the important lessons we teach our children so that they can establish life long habits and attitudes towards a cleaner and greener earth.
