Serious Green: Food Independence Day

For our beach picnic dinner we feasted on curried tofu salad made with no-gmo, locally made tofu (Whole Food carries it!) and Asian cabbage salad fresh from our organic CSA. YUM! We bought some Steaz organic, fair trade sparkling green tea root beer as a treat. I was weeding and mulching in the garden all morning so I missed the farmers' market and had to use store bought bread :(. Dessert was organic Rainier cherries from Whole Foods.

Serious Green: Plastic-Less Ways to Transport Your Lunch

Reusable and dishwasher safe lunch bags from 3greenmoms are a hit in my house. They come in lots of eye-catching patterns like fruits and vegetables. The white ones are customizable with Sharpies and the kids love using their customized bags. I love avoiding the environmental impact of using disposable plastic.

Serious Green: Plastic-Less Ways to Transport Your Lunch

I buy chinese food containers as packaging for the Ukrainian eggs I make, but they also make great take along containers. They have the advantage of being biodegradable (and the little metal handle doesn't need to biodegrade) while being sturdy and reasonably water proof for gloppy mixtures. I've even removed the handle and opened up the box into a bowl and microwaved to warm, not hot. They cost about 8 cents apiece in boxes of 500, but you might be able to split an order with a co-worker.

Serious Green: Plastic-Less Ways to Transport Your Lunch

My family eats Chinese take-out once a week and it usually results in at least one plastic won ton soup container. I save them all and now have enough to start my own restaurant, but I use them for taking my lunch to work, which I do every day, and for freezing stuff. I'd like to say good bye to plastic baggies, however. I will get out my ol' Singer soon.

I think it is interesting that many folks who care about:

-toxins in plastic
-using sustainable/biodegradable packaging
-saving money on lunch
-improving health by packing lunch

Also bike to work every day! We love you, Earth!

I use wax paper bags from whole foods which decompose quickly instead of plastic bags. You can find great lunch bags at Home Goods a division of TJ Maxx. I got a great little insulated bag there for my work lunches!
