Exploring, Enjoying and Protecting on Your Vacation

It’s safe to say that this summer has been brutally hot!   Cool off on a vacation that’s overflowing with fun in the sun, outdoor adventure and new experiences!  Check out these eco-friendly travel tips from Sierra Club National Outings to minimize the impact of your next vacation:

1.       Low-impact activities – Exploring and enjoying the planet without leaving a large carbon footprint is easy when you focus on activities such as hiking, kayaking, nature walks, swimming, and snowshoeing.

2.       Pack it In, Pack it Out – Everything you bring into the outdoors should leave with you. Plan meals carefully and repackage ingredients into reusable containers to minimize garbage. And if you see litter on the trail, pick it up!

     3.       Volunteer – Give back to the wild places you love on a service trip.  You’ll work on a variety of rewarding tasks, like repairing trails and removing invasive plants, with plenty of time to relax.

    4.       Group transportation – If you’re driving, plan a carpool. Some national parks even offer shuttle or train access. When visiting an urban area, opt for public transportation.  Mother Earth will thank you, and so will your wallet.

5.       Be a force for change – Want to protect the places you visit after you return home? Visit the Sierra Club’s My Piece of America site to stay up-to-date on threats to our nation’s wild places and opportunities to help save them.

Feeling adventurous, but not sure where to go?  Visit the My Piece of America web site and enter to win the Sierra Club Outings “End-of-Summer Sweepstakes!”  The winner will receive two round-trip tickets to Florida, 6-night stay in the Everglades National Park and kayaking lessons!

Lunch Boxes for Kids and Adults by Laptop Lunches® Make it Easy to Go Green for Earth Day 2011

With Laptop Lunches®, you can create nutritious on-the-go meals while reducing lunchtime waste and doing your part to help the environment.

Celebrated each April since 1970, Earth Day is a great opportunity to strengthen your family’s commitment to a sustainable, eco-friendly lifestyle. Changing certain daily habits, such as the way that you pack lunches for work or school, can have a big impact on minimizing your carbon footprint and preserving natural resources for future generations. If you typically pack lunch in a brown paper bag or find each lunch generating a pile of waste, now is the time to learn how Laptop Lunches® makes it easy to create healthy, waste-free meals.

The founders of Laptop Lunches® were inspired to create lunch box products that would reduce both food waste and packaging waste while encouraging wholesome, balanced on-the-go meals. The Laptop Lunches® Bento Systems 2.0 include a bento set, insulated carrying case, reusable water bottle, stainless steel utensils, and a User’s Guide that offers tips, suggestions, and recipes for nutritious bento meals. These environmentally friendly bento lunch boxes are made with recycled content and contain no lead, BPA, phthalates, or PVC.

With a Bento System, it’s easy to be green when packing an on-the-go meal for school, work, travel, or play. The bento containers eliminate the need for wasteful packaging items like plastic wrap, tin foil, plastic utensils, or disposable drink boxes. Plus, it’s great for packing leftovers, and limits portions to healthy sizes in order to cut down on food waste. Adding a colorful cloth napkin to your lunch is the perfect way to make a completely waste-free meal.

Laptop Lunches® bento boxes are great for packing:

• A wide selection of locally grown fruits and vegetables
• Organics of all kinds
• Dressings, dips, and salad dressings
• Wholesome leftovers
• Appropriately sized portions
• Waste-free on-the-go meals

This April, do your part to help preserve Planet Earth and keep America beautiful by packing wholesome, waste-free lunches in your Laptop Lunches® bento lunch box. Laptop Lunches® make lunchtime fun, healthy, and green! Visit http://www.laptoplunches.com to learn more.
