Going green? How about an Eco-friendly lunch box?

School may be out, but before you know it, it will be fall and you'll be scrambling to get the last minute lunch box, paying an arm and a leg for something that will be "out" next season so you'll just have to buy another the following year. And baggies, don't forget the hundreds of plastic baggies you'll use. I have discovered an Eco-friendly lunch box for kids (and adults) of all ages. The Easy Lunchbox . I have 6 kids. I was wasting tons of plastic baggies packing their lunches every day, oh and the hubby as well. Tons. I was ashamed, the money I was throwing away on lunch boxes, baggies...It sickens me to know how much I could have saved.

This is Phil's lunch for tomorrow. See how much it holds? He's got cucumbers and carrots, a mixed spring salad with raspberry vinegarette, mandrin oranges, raisins, walnuts and a hard boiled egg. For dessert he has a red velvet cupcake with cream cheese icing. Normally I would be learly of placing an egg with his dessert, but the lid completely separates the food and none touch or even smell like anything else he's having. (yes, that's little heart cucumbers, I love bentos and garnishing but I have to subtly put them in Phil's lunches or he says it's too girly)
Cool huh? I love mine. The kids claimed a colored lid and I can make lunches, or even snacks, and according to the lid color, I know who's is whos and what they do and don't like. Phillip even takes one to work for his lunch. Container in the bottom of the cooler bag, add a banana and his water bottle (nalgene...see, I am going green), he's good to go. The cooler bag can even hold 3 containers at once, great for car rides or the park for a picnic. And, because I love ya'll so much, Easy Lunchboxes is going to send one of my readers one set of their own. 4 containers with 4 different colored lids and a cooler bag in the winners choice of color.
