Make Lunch Time Green

 

We all know it’s important to teach your kids to eat their leafy greens but now there is another way for your kid to take a “green” lunch! We have heard them many of times; the 3 R’s (reduce, reuse, and recycle). Some of our kids point them out more than we do. You do your part. You buy green products, recycle, conserve water, and even save for a hybrid car. Let’s face it: our children are going to inherit a less-than-perfect world. We must educate, motivate and of course, demonstrate. The average school-age child using a disposable lunch generates 67 pounds of waste per school year and the average sized elementary school generates 18,760 pounds of lunch waste per year, you can make a big difference by packing waste free lunches and snacks. Learn more on how you can go waste free and raise money for your school with Kids Konserve. Make Lunch Time GREEN! It may be the grownups who make the decisions, but it is the kids who will one day inherit the planet! Teaching kids about sustainability will better prepare them for the choices they will make in the future.
