DIY lunch containers

A quick post because Epbot pointed me to a craft idea that I just love:

Make a sandwich box out of the bottom of a milk jug or a snack box out of a waxed carton, from a half-pint to a quart. The only added material is a velcro dot to close it, and when you consider the waxed cardboard milk and juice cartons aren't recyclable, you're reducing waste twice over: the carton and the plastic bag it's replacing. Plastic milk jugs can be recycled, but that takes energy, so this cuts out the middleman (of course, recycle the rest of the jug, and your sandwich box when it needs to be retired).

Of course you can always add decoration with markers and stickers.

Reduce and reuse come before recycle and this does both of them!
