Bagging your lunch
If you’re in the habit of making and packing lunch for work, you’re probably saving a lot of money, and potentially even making healthier choices than if you were ordering takeout or hitting the building vending machine. However, you might also be creating a lot of waste. Between wrapping sandwiches in saran wrap, putting pretzels in little ziplock baggies, and tossing it all in a paper bag, you use a lot of disposable items to pack a lunch. Make the switch to glass Tupperware. It’s dishwasher and microwave friendly, making it easier to heat up leftovers at the office, and reusable.
