I have found a way to start to eliminating the use of sandwich bags in our home. We go through so many plastics. I pack lunch for Mr. Blonde and snacks for the kids every day. It is crazy how wasteful I am!
I found ReUsies. They are a re-usable alternative to sandwich/snack bags. Each one has the potential to eliminate hundreds of plastic bags. This idea was developed by some passionate Seattle Moms with the hope to change our world for generations to come. Way to go for inspiring so many to make a difference in such a practical way!
These great little ReUsies are made of 100% cotton, lined with water resistant nylon (BPA, Lead and Phthalate free). They're made in the USA. They come with velcro closures that are very kid-friendly and assure the food won't fall out!
* Plastic bags make up over 10% of debris found on US Coastlines.
* Every plastic bag we use will be around for centuries, long after our children outgrow their lunchboxes.
* Each plastic bag takes over 1,000 years to break down. Plastic bags do not biodegrade, they photodegrade whereby over time they breakdown into smaller, more toxic petropolymers.
* Less than 1% of plastic bags are recycled. It costs more to recycle a plastic bag than to produce a new one.
If you have kids and use plastic baggies then you should for sure check these ReUsies out! Oh, and one of my favorite things are they are dishwasher friendly!

My son eats peanut butter sandwiches almost daily. He would love the "Let's Race" design! These would help both our budget and the environment because we use a ton on ziplocks.
