Start Packing Lunch Like an Environmentalist

For multiple reasons, I'm a home lunch toting adult. And since I'm constantly on the go, this can involve eating meals (with real utensils) while sitting on random stoops or if I'm lucky, on a park bench. I'm that kid. But like everything else in NYC and life, you just gotta act with confidence and the haters don't bother hating. At the end of the day, avoiding takeout saves a LOT of waste and that's the number one incentive for me. Plus, I save money which is...priceless.

 Meal planning is a skill that I'm constantly working on improving but snack packing is an art that I have down to the tee. And I dare you to ask me how many ziplock bags I've been through in the last six years. Not even a box. That's how many. I use them very rarely (mostly for breaking up packs of chicken and freezing smaller portions) but never for daytime snack packing. How, you ask? Take a look at these genius products, jump on the train, and never look back. One step closer to no waste.
