  For those with children

  My first-grader's teacher just sent home a letter asking that every family contribute a 24-pack of water bottles for the children's use in the classroom! Beside the amount of waste this will generate, I'm not pleased by the idea of my child ingesting water from plastic every day. I have just ordered my little girl a stainless steel drink bottle from Thermos (the new Foogo line isn't lined with plastic), as well as a stainless steel food jar for hot lunches and a plastics-free reusable lunch bag. Hopefully these will last a few good years. Klean Kanteen also carries stainless steel water bottles and sippy cups. My husband bikes to work every day, and he just uses glass food jars that used to carry canned fruit for his water bottle. As far as I know, he's never had breakage or leakage problems. We also store all of our leftovers in these glass jars that used to hold salsa or whatever instead of storing things in plastic wrap or plastic Tupperware-type containers. We've found that our food tastes way better and we don't have any use for those once-common plastics anymore. It's a great feeling.
