I am going on my second year of using reusable lunch products to help my kids take a trashless lunch to school. Not only is it good for the environment, it encourages healthier food choices, and saves me money in the end. As a mom of four children taking food to school, the potential for lots of trash and lots of wasted money on plastic baggies is immense!
I was recently introduced to Planet Wise, a great online retailer of products that encourage reducing and reusing. I was able to test out their products, such as their sandwich bags, and let me tell you, they are wonderful! These bags come in a few different sizes, perfect for snacks and sandwiches of all varieties.
I love the designs of the bags. They are fun to look at, so easy to clean, and simple to use. They are lined with safe materials that won't leach into your children's food. Once you have tried these bags, you won't ever want to go back to plastic baggies! They are fantastic! There are fabric choices for both boys and girls, neutral and bold. We love the blue skate pattern!
In addition to these great items for lunches, Planet Wise also carries tons of great items for everyday use. Wet bags, cloth wipes and cases, diaper bags, diaper pail liners, and so much more! I love their sports bag for all the extracurricular activities my boys have. Keeps things in, dry, and looks great in the process. So easy to take with you everywhere! Of course, it is also available in a multitude of patterns, we like the simple black one we received.
You will love these products from Planet Wise! You can purchase them online. Have fun shopping!
