Pack a Waste Free Lunch

brought to you by CleanScapes "rethinking stuff" Store in Gilman Village

August 15, 2013
The average elementary school student wastes 67 pounds of lunch waste and over 700 Ziploc bags per year!

Introducing CleanScapes' Waste Free Lunch Kit! Never leave home without it!

Replace all single use forks, knives, spoons with the To-go ware set! Made of very nicely sanded bamboo and the container is made from recycled plastic. Comes in many different colors.

Say "no more!" to Ziploc bags and say "hello!" to washable, reusable, and fashionable Lunchskins, Mama Luvs, and Kid's Konserve sandwich bags and wraps. Available in a variety of sizes and colors.

Pack a Zero Weight lunch bag with the kid's Vapur bottles. These are made in the USA, BPA-free, antimicrobial water bottles that are dishwasher safe! Kid's sizes have stickers that your little one can personalize with. They all roll down to take up little to no space!  Put them in the freezer and they act as an ice pack - defrosted just in time for lunch!

Be classy and use glass! Wean green products are leak proof and come in a variety of shapes and sizes! They are virtually unbreakable and are made from tempered glass.

Support local companies with Liberty bottles that are made right here in Washington state from recycled aluminum. Each bottle has local art, extra straws and tops and  the perfect size for kids.

And carry it all with you with an insulated lunch bag from Kid’s Konserve. Many colors available and all are made from recycled water bottles.

Not pictured but a great lunch box option is the YummiPouch - innovated by a local mom and perfect for sending smoothies to school!

Coming in soon - the Yum Box … a better bento!  Keep carrots separate from crackers in one lunch kit with several individual compartments - great for the separatists in your home!
