green your lunch with hand embroidered reusable snack bags

Packing my own lunch for work has been an ongoing battle for me since there’s great take-out in the city everywhere. But when I look at the statistics that almost 1/3 of waste in the US is produced through packaging there’s really no excuse. Especially if there are such cute lunch bag options as BleuRoo’s reusable snack bags with hand embroidered designs. I had discovered them on Green Depot’s website and finally bought a bird design after seeing them in person. Of course I love the fact that the outer shell is made of 100% unbleached cotton. But what really won me over was that they are really well-made with their inner liner of water and stain resistant nylon and the double stitched side seams. The velcro closure sealed the deal for me. All eco-friendly designs are hand embroidered and you can choose your own colors.

The designs for BleuRoo’s reusable snack bags include birds, stars or even customized lettering. You can choose from several different typefaces and then create your own personalized message. I’m toying between my first name or “mine” since it’s my snack after all. Or simply “bon appetit”. Please leave a comment if you have any suggestions.

Green Depot also carries the KOR ONE reusable water bottle that is perfect for taking water or the beverage of your choice for your hydration needs throughout the day. Re-use is the key to reducing waste and attractive design keeps you using the product instead of getting bored with it and leaving it behind. Bring your own lunch saves not just the landfills but keeps your wallet a little thicker too!

Randi - I completely agree with you about the role of good design in encouraging consumers to reuse. Bringing your own lunch is not only good for your financial health but for your personal health too! I'm glad you mentioned the KOR ONE bottle since I saw it when I was at Green Depot and had mentioned it before. It was also great to see that the store carried a lot of local products made in New York such as Beekman 1802 soaps.
