Great post and I’m glad I clicked on it and found your post from last week. I was looking for some new lunch ideas!

Check out these happikins – reusable napkins.http://www.happikins.com/public_html/

Thank you for saying that about the aluminum bottles!!!! So true and so many don’t realize it. I just bought my hubby a stainless steel one from Camelbak -great water bottle.

We sell a line of stainless steel cookware so I am very sensitive to aluminum in anything. So glad to find your Analyzing Aluminum in August.

Great tips! We have moved to all reusable containers and cloth napkins for school lunches. We also use a BPA-free bottle for him to bring drink from (which goes into the sack frozen to act as an ice pack).

I thought I was the only mom who made her kid bring his leftovers home, but I’ve found that most of it can be composted or reused. It feels so good to reduce or eliminate unnecessary waste!

great list.
not that i actually believe that my son uses it, but i send a cloth napkin in his lunch also.
usually, the only disposable thing in his lunch is the milk he gets at school. i’m pretty proud of that! occasionally i have to send something in a plastic bag or wrapped in foil, but it’s really rare and he doesn’t even seem to care or notice that his lunch is all green all the time!!!!

These are some really good ideas. I like those lunch skins. I agree, we should not be throwing so many things away.
