Green Your 'Brown Bag' Lunch

With kids going back to school, and parents watching their pennies, more are opting to pack 'brown bag' lunches. How do we do that "greenly?" First things first, get rid of the 'brown bag.'

- Get a reusable lunch box or insulated bag.
- Begin weaning yourself from baggies and aluminum foil, and start investing in reusable containers.
- Bring a drink in a reusable container; steel or stainless steel works great.
- Use cloth napkins.
