The one thing you need to brown-bag in style
Before we all suffocate in a sea of plastic, let's give three cheers for Erin Kelly-Dill of Western Massachusetts. This inventive mother of three realized she was using more than 500 disposable sandwich baggies a year and vowed to put a end to it all by creating our Earth Day Grommet: snackTAXI.
My daughter was the one who alerted me to these eco-friendly snack and sandwich sized bags. They're cute, they're reusable, they're dishwasher safe, and now they're in my kitchen at the ready for summer picnics, camp outs, road trips, and beach days.
The bags, offered here in two sizes, are put together by a team of local sewers and they come in plain or printed fabric that can withstand the wear and tear of the lunch box crowd. SnackTAXI is a great idea for birthday gifts, teacher gifts, or for your girlfriend, who in these Spartan times, has become a die-hard brown-bagger.
We give a big green light to snackTAXI.
