pack your own eco-lunch

Not sure why it took me so long to discover To-Go Ware’s reusable RePEaT utensils especially since I’ve already featured so many green alternatives to plastic bottles and bags. Berkley based To-Go Ware was founded by Stephanie Bernstein in 2004 to combat today's throwaway culture of plastic. Her company acknowledges that a modern life-style is a life on-the-go, but she’s committed to offering eco-friendly and modern alternatives like her RePEaT utensils. Their name originated from the fact that the holders for the bamboo utensils are made from recycled PET plastic. Not only do they give plastic bottles a second life, but they also help to keep more plastic out of landfills. I love that each set includes a fork, knife, spoon and even chopsticks since I never know what I’m in the mood for in regards to a quick lunch. They are great for the office, schools and picnics at the park or beach with their fun, colorful designs. Other To-Go Ware products include food carriers made out of stainless steel that come in recycled cotton bags that are woven from cotton scraps collected from recycling sites and dyed with natural colors. Now all you have to do is to remember to put them into your bag in the morning and you’re all ready to reduce, reuse and repeat.
