Don’t you Want your Kids to be Konservative?

Have you kicked plastics to the curb yet?
Like our team, you have probably eliminated plastic food storage containers in favor of glass, because glass doesn’t leach chemicals into food. But most schools don’t allow kids to bring fragile containers, so what should an eco-mom do?
Our friends a FranklyGreen.com have sent an amazing solution our way: a reusable, waste-free lunch kit from Kids Konserve, which features a stainless steel beverage bottle and two stainless steel food containers. Brilliant!
According to the Kids Konserve website, the average child generates 67 pounds of lunch-related trash per year. Add that to the 38 billion plastic water bottles that end up in landfills every year. What a waste! How cool is this super simple set looking?
The kit also comes with a food cozy and a cloth napkin, all in a recycled cotton sack. The whole kit and caboodle (ok, just the kit) costs $40 and comes in a gender-neutral green (of course) pattern, which will work for all the budding enviros in your house and for grown-ups who tote their lunches to work.

Thanks for this link. I was dismayed to hear a friend get into trouble for using glass containers for her kid’s kindergarten lunch. The teachers frown on steel too. Time for moms to reassert themselves.
