Lunch Lifted: The Plate That's Making Midday Meals Marvelous

Plate for Lunch that’s making midday meals marvelous. Ever been sitting across from that sad sandwich on the flimsy paper plate wondering if this is what adulting is? Or maybe every time you pitch a plastic container into the dumpster after your office lunch, you feel a little guilt? Catching between convenience and conscience trying to figure out how to make our midday meals both satisfying and sustainable.

The Lunchtime Dilemma: Convenience vs. Conscience

Let’s face it lunchtime can be a real pain in the butt. Whether you are brown-bagging it to the office or trying to whip something up quick at home, it is easy enough to fall into the trap of single-use plates and containers. They’re convenient, sure-but at what cost to our planet?
The Hidden Price of Disposable Dining
But here’s a less fun fact: millions of these disposable plates go to landfills every day. That is a lot of waste that will be here long after we all are gone. But don’t you needn’t between that nice lunch and saving the planet because I have the game-changer here for you in the form of the eco-friendly food plate.

Inspires others: Your cool lunch setting might just initiate a conversation about sustainable living.
Changing attitudes: You put on a re-usable plate to change the culture of throw away to a mindful culture

If you eat lunch in disposable plates three times a week, using a re-usable plate instead saves you some $150 per year!
