Why be a schlump when you can look sharp, even as you haul your lunch from home.  Here’s a happening way to pack those homemade salads, sandwiches and snacks as you head back to school or the office.

From Nubius Organics, check out the ECOlunchbag.  It’s 100%  cotton and machine washable.  Easily converts to a backpack, sling bag, shoulder bag or hip bag. And comes with 3 matching napkins, ($29.50).

Or, upgrade to an ECOlunchbag Kit (at R) which also includes a stainless steel food container and bamboo spork ($44.50).

If you’re looking for insulation, you’ll find several options on their nifty Website.  One that I happen to like is the NY Gourmet Getaway – Dot 7 (at R).  Made of neoprene, it insulates hot or cold food and beverages for up to 4 hours, and is machine washable, ($23.99).

They also offer many ways to pack a

NOTE:  For more eco cred, we wish the cotton were organic cotton and the neoprene were Neogreene.  Feel free to jump-in with any eco friendly ways to pack that lunch.
