It is time to ditch the disposable to-go containers, brown bags, plastic bags and plastic lunch boxes for sustainable & healthy lunch containers for your kids school lunch. I have searched hi and low to find the best in environmentally friendly containers for lunchtime and picnics. As the company "To-Go Ware" says, "Reduce your forkprint!"

I found this product through a friend of mine who, just like me, had been searching for a plastic bag replacement for her children's lunches. These stainless steel containers are perfect to hold a sandwich, some chips or fruit. They come in Uno (to hold a large sandwich or bunch of grapes) or Duo (to hold crackers and cheese, or any other two foods that need to be separated.) They are super cute, coming in blue or orange colored tops, and the kids loved the bright colors. They are completely safe, free of chemicals, BPA and lead, and Stainless steel is one of the safest materials for food storage and handling! I also like the fact that these can double as food storage containers for left overs, as I have rid my kitchen of plastic, I am short of containers, these work perfectly!
Each box is approximately 6.25″ x 4.5″ x 1.75, Visit http://www.lunchbots.com to buy one or both today! $14.99/each.

I absolutely love this Lunch set. It is a 2-tier Stainless Steel "Tiffin" Set, it includes two stainless steel containers that stack on top of each other and then latch together. It comes with a carrier bag that is made from recycled cotton scraps and natural dyes, as well as a bamboo utensil set that fits inside a very sweet utensil holder that was produced in Delhi, India made entirely out of recycled discarded plastic bags! You can also get a "side kick" which is a small stainless steel container that is perfect for holding salad dressing or other liquids. This is the perfect waste-free set, and easy (and rather fashionable) to carry because of the carrier bag it comes with. Great for kids and adult lunches alike, great to take along with you when you are going out to eat, so you can pack those left overs and not partake in those awful to-go containers that most restaurants carry!

This is a wonderful website. Not only do they offer many options of stainless steel food storage containers, in all shapes and sizes, but they offer cups, mugs and children's tableware, lunch boxes and bottles. Their products are made with the highest grade of stainless steel (304), which is the highest quality around.

The thing I liked most about lifewithoutplastic products is the diversity. They offer so many sizes and options, as well as cups and food storage containers that have a fold out handle so you can use it to re-heat food (since we all know the microwave is not OK)! You can take these containers camping, or your kids can use to pretend play, the options are endless!
Their prices are reasonable, ranging from $14.95 to $27.95 (for 3-tier container), and the kids three piece dish set for $19.95, superb pricing!
