Lunches can be riddled with green living difficulties from pre-packaged food wrappers, to vegetable and fruit peels, to water bottles and plastic containers - it can be hard to eliminate the waste that comes with our daily lunch.

So that’s what this episode is all about. Helping you get more creative without having to spend a  bunch of money. I’m sharing all the things me and my family do and tips and tricks on how you can easily have a lower waste lunch.
