Hi Elaine -
In our family we try to use reusable containers for packing lunches whenever possible. All of us have our own canvas lunch bag and a plastic sandwich container that we wash each night and reuse the next day instead of a plastic bag or foil. Instead of juice boxes, we buy a big container of juice at a warehouse club and portion it into individual thermos containers, then pop those in the dishwasher at night as well.
It's great to recycle but remember, recycling uses energy that harms our environment as well. Use less in the first place to cut down on emissions!
