September 13th, 2010 · 29 Comments · Avoiding Waste, What to Buy

Sandwich bags. Snack bags. Zippered bags. Slide-n-lock bags. Blue-and-yellow-makes-green bags. Is this a Science lesson or an exercise in decision making? Toss in the plastic containers still gracing my cupboards, stainless steel or glass (because plastic is neither “green” nor safe, you know), and I’m lost as to what to put my kids’ sandwiches in [...]
