Why pack a GO Green Lunch Box lunch for your child?
Landfills are full and overflowing. Much of the trash we generate comes from the packaging on the food we buy, and lunch foods are no exception.
It has been estimated that, on average, a school-age child using a disposable lunch generates 67 pounds of waste per school year... that equates to 18,760 pounds of lunch waste for just one average-size elementary school.
