The holidays are almost over and it is time to get your kids back to school. We thought we’d make this time easier for you by running a back to school giveaway!
Equipping your kids with a healthy and sustainable lunch is not always easy. How do you ensure that your children eat something healthy each day? And how do you pack their lunch so it is good for the environment, too? We love seeing more and more parents and schools focusing on ‘naked lunch boxes’, a trend that encourages everyone to use reusable rather than disposable packaging. What do you do about your kid’s lunchbox?
We’d love to hear your ideas and tips and share with our community members. To make it worth your while, we are giving away a beautiful, brand new lunchbox, courtesy of Love Mae who have kindly gifted this one for our competition (the prize has a value of $35.95).
What do you need to do? Share your best healthy and packaging-free lunchbox idea with us. This could be a recipe that your kids love, an idea on how to keep the lunchbox contents cold sustainably, tips on how to shop for your kids lunches, … Just make sure that your entry speaks to a zero waste approach and is healthy and not processed.
