I love reusable bags! I loath the thought of using plastic bags only once and then throw them in the trash. It’s a terrible thing to fill up our landfills with. Did you know that more than 20 million sandwich bags from school lunches go into U.S. landfills everyday? That’s just from school lunches, not to mention home and work use.
I’ve almost stopped using them all together. My lunch bag is bulkier from all the containers, but I love it! I just found out about LunchSkins. LunchSkins sells reusable bags. They have 3 different sizes – Snack, Sandwich and Sub size. These are all dishwasher safe, so you just place them in the dishwasher or the laundry and even the dryer too! I usually throw mine in with my towels and lay flat to dry.
Lunch Skins will work with you if your school would like to do a fundraiser. LunchSkins also donates 1% of online sales to the C&O Canal Trust, an organization formed to protect and restore the the historic C&O Canal near the nation’s capital, a trash-free National Park.
LunchSkins is offering a set of one sandwich and one snack to one reader during my Back to School the Eco-Way Blog Hop Giveaway!
Check out their different designs.
Check them out on Facebook and Twitter too!
Stay tuned the giveaway starts August 22 – 31.

Do you use reusable sandwich bags?
I use sandwich bags, but never reused them…are the regular ones reusable?
I reuse non-reusable sandwich bags, but I seriously need to look into getting or making some reusable ones!
I use reusable containers sometimes but the sandwich bag seems a heck of a lot easier to clean.
