Kids Konserve Review!


It is becoming very trendy to be "green." It seems everyone is talking about it lately! I have to say this is one "trend" that I am happy to emulate. With Earth Day right around the corner, what better time to pick up one new "green" habit?

I had the opportunity to review a product by KidsKonserve. KidsKonserve is a company that makes reusable containers for carrying your lunch back and forth to school (or work). They have lots of different options - the signature lucnch kit is a water bottle and two food containers made of food-grade stainless steel. It also includes a recycled cloth lunch bag, a food cozy and a cloth napkin. This kit eliminates the need for juice boxes, water bottles, and ziploc bags - all which contribute to our waste problem.

I got the opportunity to review the thermos - a food grade stainless steel thermos. It is great for carrying hot or cold foods to work or school! As all of KidsKonserve's items, it is very trendy looking!

Here's how purchasing a lunch kit like this one can help our planet AND your wallet!

*FACT: Americans will buy an estimated 25 billion single-serving, plastic water bottles this year. Eight out of 10 (22 billion) will end up in a landfill -- Container Recycling Institute

*FACT: A lunch packed with reusable items is typically 45% less expensive and contains 89% less waste than a lunch packed with single-use items.

*FACT: If 400 students (the average size school) recycle AND compost their table scraps, this is a carbon savings of 80 cars taken off the road. Source: StopWaste.org

  6. Oh I'd love one of these. We actually have a few similar to this in a different brand as I switch our family over to all things green. With 5 kids, it's expensive so it's a slower process than I'd like.

    Great blog! I just found you today and can't wait to dive in and read everything you have here.
