School lunch waste has a huge environmental impact: The average American school-age child throws away 67 pounds of packaging per year, including plastic water bottles, sandwich baggies, molded food containers, and juice boxes. The eco-friendly boxes by Laptop Lunches can cut that trash heap down to size: They're reusable, recyclable and dishwasher-safe; plus they come in a range of colors, to avoid morning mix-ups. Each box also comes with a book full of healthy lunch ideas and recipes for those of us who grow weary of the same old PB and J. $20.99 for the set, including outer box, inner containers and utensils, at
