HOW 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!).
