Hi everyone!
I spent some time today researching eco friendly lunch boxes, bages, and water bottles. I actually confused myself upon doing this. I don't use the juice boxes and have always sent my kids with sport type water bottles with filtered water from our home to school. I also don't use the water bottles purchased at the store (poland springs etc.) Ok. I find out the sports bottles have a PEP in it worse than in the water bottles from the store! I did find one naglene brand of a sport bottle that states it doesn't have any plastic leaching or lead in it, but mothering magazine posted an article stating not to use one of the plastics listed as safe by the naglene company.
Not to mention I use Alum Foil (not the best I know) to wrap the sandwich because my tupper ware type of sandwich holders did not return home, but what else is there?
I am confused and wanted to have your inputs from those of you who do send kids to school on what you use that is safe for your child and the environment ( I do hope it comes home so a $15 water bottle is risky).
Thanks for reading.
