I’ve packed my fair share of school lunches. During the month of September, my daughter took a well-balanced (and very organized) stainless steel Bento Box complete with a silicone seal closure. By October, I got lazy and stopped the daily cleaning and started shoving the sandwich into a ZipLoc bag before throwing it in a zippered lunch bag. When the guilt kicked in, I compromised and bought 100% compostable sandwich bags.
I paid $5.99 for 50 compostable bags, even though 90 Ziploc bags cost $3.79 because it is a worthy investment. My daughter’s science teacher even noticed the bag and commented on it.
