You can save big bucks by bringing your own lunch, but the days of the brown bag are over. Disposable bag waste is such an easy problem to solve! It's absolutely no more work (and less expense) to carry something re-usable. The only hurdle is habit.
So, no time like the present. Here's a round-up of some very cool containers for your noontime noshing.
'Mr. Bento's Lunch Jar is a stylish stainless steel ensemble with a retro sensibility, made by Zojirushi (the company that also manufactures an awesome bread machine that makes a traditionally shaped loaf that turns out great every time).
The ACME re-usable lunch bag is made from 90 percent post-consumer recycled content and is completely lead free. You can find it (and lots of other cool, eco-friendly totes) at the Web site Reusable Bags.
The Classic Construction Worker Lunch Box and Thermos Set is the real McCoy. Treat it well and it should last you the rest of your life.
And over at Exclusively Green, you can find everything from a sleek, hemp satchel for $69.99 to recycled organic cotton sack for $6.99.
Happy Lunch!
