A healthy LapTop for lunch


Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Busy families often rely on expensive individually prepackaged foods, throwaway containers and plastic bags. So is it any wonder that one school-age child generates 67 pounds of waste?

That's what researchers at LapTop Lunches found. Based on the Japanese bento box, moms Amy Hemmert and Tammy Pelstring created a lunchbox system for all ages that is convenient, fun and colorful, as well as environmentally friendly. For information, recipes and orders, go to www.laptoplunches.com. Be sure to check out their other Web site, www.wastefreelunches.org, for tips on how to reduce lunchbox waste and information about starting a waste-free lunch program in your area.

The women also offer a User's Guide, a free newsletter, recipes, nutrition tips, discounts for schools and fund-raiser options. LapTop Lunches can be found at Portable Culture in Seattle.
