Disposable lunch bags are not only wasteful, but they’re also about as exciting as a bologna sandwich. According to the Recycling Council of Ontario, the average student’s lunch generates 66 pounds of waste per school year. This number is easily matched or doubled by the amount of waste that an adult can produce. Start this new school or work season with a brand new bag; it will help you make healthy choices, stay environmentally responsible and save money.
