School is out, the sun is actually shining today and the air is warm! For this Midwestern girl turned New Englander this change of season can mean only one thing: it's BEACH TIME! Most of the beaches we tend to frequent do not have boardwalks so I spend a lot of time packing up a cooler so we can stay for the day. Recently my friend Chellie turned me on to snack TAXI, a Massachusetts based company that makes adorable reusable bags for sandwiches and snacks.
Okay, how cute are these bags??
A sandwich bag with happy veggies? Adorable!
Their sports-themed sandwich bags are sure to be a hit
Snack TAXI meets all of my criteria for being "green": they use local labor and materials, the bags are washable made of 100% cotton on the outside and phthalate-free nylon on the inside, and the aim of the company is to reduce waste produced by millions of baggies each year by producing a safe, viable alternative. The bags are now being carried at many retailers around the U.S. or you can order online at http://www.snacktaxi.com/.
I like them because they are a great alternative to (petroleum based!) baggies, they are sturdy enough to keep your sandwich from being mushed but flexible enough to fit in a lunch box (unlike rigid-petroleum-based-plastic containers), and they are so darn cute even my what-will-my-friends-think? 11 yr old will use them.
As always, my opinion is completely my own and I have not been compensated by snack TAXI in any way.
Reduce your exposure to petroleum, your waste, and up the cuteness factor all in one bag, what a great way to go green this summer!
