Going Greener ~ Kids Konserve Snak Pak Lunch Kit Giveaway

  People in the US buy more than half a BILLION bottles of bottled water every week ~ enough to circle the globe twi

                                                                 

Plastic bags do not biodegrade. Light breaks them down into smaller and smaller particles that contaminate the soil and water and are expensive and difficult to remove. Less than 1 percent of plastic bags are recycled each year. Recycling one ton of plastic bags costs $4,000. The recycled product can be sold for $32. When the small particles from photodegraded plastic bags get into the water, they are ingested by filter feeding marine animals. Biotoxins like PCBs that are in the particles are then passed up the food chain, including up to humans.

                               

Before you grab another resealable bag when packing your child's lunch, consider how easy it is to make a difference nearly every day!

Kids Konserve can help!  They are all about the common goal we all have...to help the environment by helping you with eco-friendly every day options at affordable prices.

The Kids Konserve waste-free lunch kit and other reusable products were the natural outgrowth of what two women saw as a big need that required immediate attention. With the premise that any business they undertook had to help the environment in some way, it didn’t take much imagination to see how they, as parents of young children, were contributing to garbage landfills, pollutants and sending the wrong message to their own children. How could they set an example of conservation for their children and empower them to be the examples of change for the future?

Kids Konserve offers a full line of eco-friendly products, specializing in lunch kits that are bright, fashionable and user friendly!

High quality products that are also earth-friendly?  Sturdy construction with cool and bright design?  Rethink your lunch and snack on the go resources and find greener alternatives from Kids Konserve!

My family was given an opportunity to test the Kids Konserve Snak Pak, and we love it!

 Even my son thought the green design was cool and funky!  The Snak Pak is made of a cotton draw string bag which is machine washable and can be line or light machine dried.  The bag is approximately 9" x 13" so it fits perfectly in a backpack!  Within the kit, you'll find also a cotton napkin, a stainless steel leak proof food container and a Food Cozy - the answer to the disposable plastic bag dilemma!

Food Kozy

The Food Kozy is a 13.5" plastic round with velcro closure which can be used in place of disposable plastic bags in both your packed lunches and snacks, as well as for food storage at home!  Washable with warm water, the Food Kozy is made from #4 plastic and is recyclable!

The Kids Konserve Snak Pak retails for $22.00 and you may elect to add a 20oz Kids Konserve Stainless Steel Water Bottle for only $8.00 more!  Extra Food Kozys can be added to your order as well!  Choose from Orange, Green, Magenta and Mud designs.  5 packs available for $23.00 or 2 packs for $9.00.

As a lunch packer, I found the Snak Pak to be completely functional, very chic, but I do recommend selecting some additional containers, such as the Stainless Steel Nesting Trio and the Insulated Food Jar for additional packing options!
