Print ArticleHOW TO GET YOUR LUNCH READY...
1. Start
with choosing a reusable lunch bag or lunch box, there are quite a few that are
designed to use with no wrappers, like Nude Food Movers.
2. Think
when you are at the supermarket, what items will require still more wrapping or
come with excess wrapping. Often healthy choices are also good for the
environment too. Big bags instead of multi-packs can be put in small containers
and save you money, too!
3. Think
when you wrap, could you just put it straight in the compartment of the lunch
box? Could you use a reusable bag or container? Could you use paper lunch wrap
instead of plastic glad wrap?
4. Look
at what comes back in the lunch box. Is there less wastage and less packaging
than there used to be?
We are all responsible for the
rubbish we create, we can all make choices that will help influence the
manufacturers who design and create the packaging.
Give
yourself a pat on the back for your effort!
Your example is powerful for your children who will inherit our planet (and our waste!).
