We’re all trying to reduce, reuse, and recycle. It’s better for our budgets and better for the planet. But school lunches present a special challenge. Plastic containers can release harmful chemicals, and paper bags just make more waste. What’s a hoping-to-go-greener parent to do?
Kids Konserve: Reusable and waste free lunch kit.
Enter the Kids Konserve waste free lunch kit, quite possibly the answer to two common school age conundrums. First, it’s everything you need to pack a trash free lunch, from the recycled cotton sack and reusable sandwich kozy right down to the stainless steel water bottle and round containers that are just the right size for snacks or fruit.
Company founders Chance Claxton and Lynne Julian (pictured here) came up with the idea for this reusable lunch system after the two moms witnessed the daily throwaway of foil, plastic baggies, and juice cartons in their own homes and started studying the impact of school lunchroom waste. (Did you know that 18,760 pounds of trash is generated annually by one average sized elementary school?)
Second, Kids Konserve is a fresh idea for school fundraisers. Schools that sell the lunch kit earn 10% of sales while teaching kids the importance of reducing lunchtime trash. Plus, wouldn’t you rather have a greener school than buy a bunch of magazines or candy bars you don’t really want anyway?
Perhaps best of all, this kit is cool for kids of all ages, and even for adults who like to brown bag, er, I mean, canvas bag it.
