Packing a school lunch can be a hard task. It needs to be nutritious and full of food that you know your kids will eat. It also needs to be big enough to give them fuel to learn and play, but it can't be so big that they end up throwing away the majority of the contents.

Generally, birthday parties aren't very eco-friendly. We often just pop to the closest party shop and purchase all manner of single-use plastic items that will get binned in the aftermath. This list can help you save a bit of money as well as throwing a far more eco-friendly party for your little one.

There are few materials that pose such a threat to the environment as plastic. Not only is plastic regularly dropped as litter, but animals can mistake plastic for food (particularly marine animals). Unfortunately, plastic can take tens, or even hundreds, of years to decompose.

While Bee Wrappys fit right at home in your kitchen and fridge, they can also be a vertsile addition to your bush walking and camping essentials, working a treat AND reducing your environmental impact.
