Reducing Trash in School Lunches


Ever wonder where all that trash goes?

A recent episode of 60 minutes entitled "Wasteland" uncovered the truth behind recycle waste in the United States and where it often ends up (China). They revealed the immense size of the waste, the damage it is causing to the environment when not properly handled, and more importantly the effects of toxins including lead affecting the men, women and children in the nearby villages and on the job. The idea of reducing trash isn't new but it is becoming increasingly critical. And our young kids entering school are at the perfect age to begin learning about recycling.

In my search for reusable packaging, I came across one company that has the right idea for packing a trash-free school lunch. Bento boxes by Laptop Lunches helps you neatly arrange an assortment of lunch options from fruit to sandwiches in a colorful display your kids will love.
Reducing school lunch trash is just one small step for the little ones that could make a big impact on their future and their friends across the globe.

Laptop Lunches $22.99

350 Tees = 1 Well = 350 Lives













This bottle of heavenly goodness is flying straight to Africa. The designers at Orange Cupcake are socking away 100% of their profits from the H2o Tee to bring water to little ones who need it most. The funds will be donated to Charity Water to build a well in Africa that will provide, fresh clean drinking water to about 350 people for 20 years.
