Nude Food Week

Warning - Kind long back story

So Wednesday is Hungry Wednesday as I am at work all day and then back to back uni classes from 4:30 - 8:30, so usually I go home and have dinner late and whinge a lot.  Today I decided I wanted Goodberries straight after uni, so I ducked home in my lunch break (bad for using my car for a short trip) for a couple of things, and made myself a sandwich to eat at uni. Un-sustainably - I wrapped it in cling wrap, and because i cut the cling wrap off too short, it was wrapped in two pieces and jammed it in my bag as I ran out the door. 

Anyway, I got to uni and it was presentation day (not for me, thank goodness - mine was last week) and a lady in my class spoke about the sustainability practices at the early childhood centre and spoke about 'Nude Food Week' - which is an initiative to encourage kids to pack their lunches without packaging - drink bottles, lunch box, reusable containers, etc. I thought about my far too cling wrapped sandwich and felt guilty. Here I am trying to be more sustainable - and completely forgot about cling wrap! Oops!

So - it's Nude Food Week which will lead to Nude Food Life - because this blog is about a change of lifestyle! I already have reusable bags and containers and an awesome basket for markets and heaps of bottles so I have absolutely no excuses! It;s not just lunch packaging - supermarkets are full of packaging, bags for your apples, bags for your mandarins, then bags for your shopping - too much and it stops now!!!!

Ps. Sorry for the boring picture - I made the mistake of typing Nude Food into google images and very quickly changed my search to 'Lunchbox'. That's karma getting me back for using too much cling wrap!
