The time has come to revive the lunch box! Pack a lunch to bring to work and/or send one with the kids school, and save money and disposable packaging everyday. Be the envy of all your friends (or colleagues!) when you bust out organic chocolate covered almonds, heirloom tomato salads, tasty sustianably-caught tuna, and other green goodness from home.

Get creative as to how we define lunch box- skip the brown paper bags and vinyl plastic lunch boxes, and instead flaunt your eco-chic ethic by using a cotton canvas bag or a retro metal lunch box, reusing glass jars instead of ziploc bags, and wrapping your sandwich in biodegradable parchment paper instead of aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Forgo the plastic tupperware (turn your old ones into planters!), and instead opt for Pyrex glass tupperware that won’t leech nasty chemicals into your food.
