You've all heard about brown-bagging it…now how about Green-bagging it?
***Consider your everyday "litter factor" and choose a reusable lunch bag.
Every weekday nearly 44 million American workers purchase or eat lunch out. Every year 1.8 million tons of takeout containers and utensils end up in landfills!
In fact, the average American office worker goes through around 500 disposable cups over the course of 12 months. Americans even toss out enough paper and plastic cups, forks and spoons every year to circle the equator 300 times!
If you were to bring your lunch every day for a week (assuming you spend about $9/day = $45/week = $2,250/year), then collectively our planet could be saved from the millions of trashed containers and your wallet could be saved some GREEN.
Check out these eco-friendly options for toting your lunch:
