L.K.S. launches Boomerang Lunch Program!

WasteFree Lunch Tips

o Get children to help pack their lunches with healthy foods.

o Only pack as much food as your child will eat.

o Use a reusable lunch bag/box for carrying a lunch.

o Label all containers so they have a better chance of coming home.

o Use a refillable bottle for drinks – it’s cheaper and kids can save drinks for later! Avoid drinks in packaging that cannot be resealed. After a few sips, drinks are often discarded.

o Use a thermos for cold drinks or hot soups.

o Put sandwiches, muffins, etc. in ‘tupperware’-style containers, instead of plastic bags.

o Re-use plastic margarine tubs or washed milk bags for veggies & trail mix.

o Avoid pre-packaged, single-serving portions of snacks or drinks.

o Cut big items up so your kids save food for after-school snacking or recess.

o Put reusable cutlery and napkins in your child’s lunch box.

o Prepare extra food at dinnertime and use the leftovers for lunches.

o Minimize the morning rush (when you’ll reach for the convenience, over-packaged items) and pack lunches the night before and refrigerate overnight.

o Include fresh fruit and vegetables for a healthy lunch!
