What's in your kid's lunch?

I've been quite a busy bee lately getting my kiddos ready for school. (With tax-free weekend last week, I'm even more convinced that online shopping is the ONLY way to go. I digress. Again.) I'll get back to the benefits of babywearing very soon. As soon as my mind returns to its natural state Monday am when Big Yeller rolls up to the front door.

And when Big Yeller does come... here's what will be in my kid's backpacks. Sigg's reusable bottles that I bought them for Christmas from ReusableBags.com. Even though the kids make fun of mom sometimes for bein' green, they love the looks of these bottles and get lots of envious glances from their school chums.

Did you know that people throw away trillions of disposable plastic bottles and cardboard juice boxes each year? How yucky is that?

Did you know that bottles made from #3, #6 and #7 plastic can leech harmful chemicals into what you're drinking? What's grosser than gross? That is, for sure.

How cool and easy would it be to send your kid to school with one of these bottles instead of buying and throwing away dozens of juice boxes and plastic bottles every week? How much money would you save? And don't worry, Sigg bottles are super durable and can withstand whatever your toddler or teen can do to it. Kleen Kanteen makes a sleek and stylish monochromatic bottle too. Give them a try and come back to let me know what you think!

Also, give some thought to exactly what you might be packing in your kid's lunch. Google it. You'll be surprised.


ReusableBags.com now offer reusable bottles as another smart, sustainable alternative to "use once & toss" disposables. They save you money while saving precious natural resources by cutting down on the trillions of cans and bottles trashed each year.
