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!
