Sure there are lots of really cool green lunchboxes on the market but you sometimes you just want a no muss, no fuss lunch sack…but you don’t want paper. Enter the EcoBags Lunch Tote. I am a big fan of fancy bento lunches for me and for my kids but simplicity is divine too and I really like this lunch sack. It is just a tad bigger than a paper lunch sack and it is made of recycled unbleached 10 oz. cotton canvas and it has a Velcro closure at the top. It is recycled because scraps are collected and woven into new canvas material to make the bags. Taking care of it is easy too…just machine wash on cold and hang to dry. I hand wash mine in the kitchen sink and hang to dry or throw it in the wash with a load of clothes. It is both kid & grown up friendly and oh so perfect for travel and day trips. You can even get creative and personalize them with colorfast fabric markers and paints, or sew on some patches. And at only $5.50 a bag they are a steal.
You may want to consider these for Christmas gifts. An Ecobags lunch tote, a Wrap-N-Mat, and Klean Kanteen combo would be a great gift!
great tips
Another great eco-friendly lunch tote is the American made organic cotton lunch bag from Hero Bags! Available online at http://www.herobags.com. they fit a sigg water bottle and are machine washable!
Keep fighting the good fight eco-friendly folks! Bit by bit we can make a difference. FYI I work for an eco-friendly promotional products manufacturer and encourage everyone to take a look. We can, and will, make a difference.
