I wanted to share some tips that will help parents when sending their kids back to school. Sending kids to school with lunches can be one of the biggest areas where you might use wasteful products. Here are some tips that can cut down on this.

• Buy organic or local food and snacks- By buying these types of foods you will teach your children about living organically as well as being able to help local farmers out.

• Use reusable containers: This will cut down on the amount of those plastic baggies that are being thrown away everyday.

• Recycle- This will show your children how important it is to recycle whatever you can.

• Save Energy- Walk or carpool to school. This will save on the amount of pollution that is put up into the air.

• Buy Eco-friendly/Recycled School Supplies- This can include environmentally friendly products, non-toxic products or materials that are made out of recycled materials.
