really good advice. Here’s one from me. I found these eco-friendly backpacks that are each made from seven recycled water bottles. You can put your SIGG water bottles in them. Check them out here if you want: http://www.askmelissa.com/index.php/features/back_to_school_08-31-09

As I said on the giveaway post, I feel your pain about losing silverware! My son has lost something every single day during these first 2 weeks of school.

[...] Green Giveaway: Waste-Free Lunch Box by Citizen Pip and 15% off Kids Konserve August 24th, 2009 After a trip to Target today for back-to-school supplies, I realized I’m not the only one still shopping for eco-friendly back to school supplies!

Such a good post! As we have talked about before there are all shades of green and while of course it would be great if everyone was the darkest shade we have to remember that can’t happen over night and that it’s all about steps so like you said plastic containers (even #5) are the best but they are better! I still use these types of containers at home.

Every time I use them I remind myself that I will someday switch to stainless steel and glass but for now it’s a lot better than plastic bags.

I think tips like these will get those that want to go green but are worried about the cost to go for it.

We do the plastic Gerber and such containers. I figure so long as I don’t put them in the dishwasher or pack hot foods in them, it’s okay. Not so much luck with cleaning out the lunchboxes though. Well, it worked for 2 years for my youngest who got his lunch box as a hand me down from a friend. My oldest, though? I challenge any green mom to get stuff to last with him for more than a year. My sister swears that he should be a toy tester. Still, we buy second hand and that helps say resources (ours and the planets).

Great tips! I’m having my daughter reuse her lunch bag and backpack this year – they’re still in good enough shape even if they aren’t new.
