The school days are officially back in full swing! And since we’re all pretty frugal around here, I’m sure most of us strive to send our kids to school with homemade lunches. It’s healthier and cheaper!
Have you ever thought about what kind of effect your kids’ school lunches have on the environment? The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that every school lunch creates an average of 67 pounds of trash per school year. That means just one average-size middle school creates over 40,000 pounds of lunch waste each year.
Annie’s Homegrown, Stonyfield YoKids, Honest Kids, and Seventh Generation have teamed up for the second consecutive year to help curb lunchtime waste this back-to-school season. Through 10/31/12, you can get a FREE Kids Konserve Reusable Lunch Sack with the purchase of any two participating products. Fill out this form and mail it in with your proof of purchase to get your freebie! The re-useable lunch sacks are washable, made of recycled cotton, and eliminate a great deal of waste that would otherwise occur from the use of daily paper or plastic lunch bags.
If you haven’t tried any of these participating products, you are missing out! These are some of my favorite natural/organic brands. It’s definitely worth trying out a couple products and snagging that super cool reusable lunch sack for the kiddos!
