It’s kind of amazing how prevalent ziplock bags have become. There was a time not too many years ago when baggies were limited to only a few school lunches. Now, almost everyone has them daily — and they come with new features like plastic zips that offer convenience but add to the waste and energy needed to make them.

Mom Crystal Figlietti was thinking the same thing — and with her three kids burning through plactic baggies, she decided to take action and come up with an eco-friendly alternative. Dubbed the Fresh Snack Pack, (and available in different sizes) each PVC-free, non-toxic plastic and reuseable bag can hold a sandwich, fruit, or other goodies. They’ll also survive the rigors of your child’s backpack and daily abuse — making them a wonderfully “green” alternative to ziplock bags.

They’re available here for $4.50 and $5.50 each depending on the size.
