Environmental friendly ways to pack lunch?

mbtafan

Does anybody know any environmentally friendly ways to pack lunch for school? Currently, I'm using a large plastic bag which I use everyday (a lunch bag that takes up less space in my backpack) and two plastic bags containing pretzels and a sandwich which I dispose of everyday. Any suggestions?
I do have a space contrasiant, though. I don't have much room in my backpack, so colllapsable plastic bags as opposed to containers that take up space are not an option. Also, I do not tend to resuse bags as somehow the peanut butter from my sandwich seems to get all over the bag.

Answer
Get an actual insulated lunch bag that can be cleaned and reused easier than a plastic bag. Also try using plastic containers that can be washed and reused instead of bags. They make sandwhich sized ones among all the other sizes and shapes. You could even get a drink container and fill it up each day from a larger bottle at home instead of carrying cans or bottles to drink every day.

Question about my lunch?

Loverrrr

If I put a sandwich with just ham on it in a ziplock baggie in a brown paper sack in my
locker. Will it still be good by lunch time?

Answer
i wouldnt try it. insulated bags are small and cheap, and if you dont wanna buy an ice pack, put a small bottle of water in the freezer and BAM! cold water and an ice pack in the same container ;)
