September 30th, 2011 · 3 Comments · What to Buy

I feel guilty nowadays if I use a plastic baggie to pack a lunch. At the very least, I try to make sure it gets used multiple times, as I detailed in this green lunch packing post. I’ve had a handful of different reusable sandwich bags since last year, and they’ve gotten a TON of [...]
