Eco-Friendly to Go

I came across these products and think they are really great. Containers are used for many things in the home so they should be safe, affordable and eco-friendly. Check these few out and support companies that are creating change in consumerism. Not only are they designed in a cool and smart way, but really change how food is contained.

Lunchbots
These containers are great for packing lunches for anyone in your family. They are made of stainless steel, BPA-free and contain no lead or phthalates. Prices range from $12.99 to $14.99 and worth every penny.



Plum Creek Mercantile
The reusable snack fabric bags are made from 100% organic cotton and cotton and are way better than plastic. They have a strong closure that even children can open. You can wash them with soap and water and hang dry. The bulk bags are my favorites! They are made from 100% cotton and the non-toxic plastic window allows you to see what's inside.

You can purchase them at Amazon in sets. For free shipping use this code: PCMFShip



ReUsies
These bags are made out of nylon and 100% cotton. Their velcro closures are easy to open but tough enough to keep everything safe and secure. They come in a sandwich size as well as a snack size and a bunch of adorable patterns. When you buy 4 you get FREE shipping so check them out!



Mimi the Sardine
These reusable cloth lunch bags are so cute. What better way to pack your kids lunch and send them off to school than expressing great design and love for the earth. These acrylic coated cotton totes are 100% lead-free, machine washable and soft to the touch. Your kids will love them. You might want one for yourself too!



Built NY
These bags will brighten up any lunch. Made from neoprene, they are stain-resistant, machine washable and insulates food up to 4 hours. They also come in awesome patterns. This bag is, for sure, the way to keep your adult lunch fun.



To Go Ware Tiffin Set
I love how this set looks. It reminds me of an old school lunch pail. It's made from stainless steel and can carry just about everything. The lid doubles as a plate too! How convenient. It also comes with a smaller container if you have condiments or dressings you need to bring too. At $24.95 it's not a bad deal.



Rebel Green
These bags are awesome. They are stylish, unique and get the job done. Made from 100% certified organic cotton they are a great choice. Their napkins are cool too.
