When it comes to making school lunches, a parent's main concern is that their kids have something they enjoy eating and enough of it. As a result, school lunches usually involves a ton of plastic packaging and unhealthy foods that are not ideal for the environment and most importantly, their kids.
Zero-waste school lunches are much better for the environment and are a great way to get your children to be mindful about the planet! That is why we have created a list of back-to-school lunches and snacks that you can make for your kids.
Tips for Creating a Sustainable Lunch:
-
Include reusable bamboo straws in your child's lunchbox for any drink you may pack.
-
Pack your kids snacks in reusable snack bags.
-
Make sure to pack a set of reusable bamboo cutlery instead of single-use plastic cutlery.
-
Use a bento box to pack your child's favourite lunches. They're reusable, convenient and extremely easy to use!
-
Instead of packing napkins, pack reusable paperless towels.
