The good green lunchbox

Give your food an eco-makeover! This make-and-do book contains 16 ideas for tasty and healthy lunches and picnics which at the same time highlight a range of ethical issues around sourcing food.

In preparing lunchtime and picnic snacks, these activities encourage the use of seasonal, locally sourced and fairtrade products as well as encouraging children to consider how their lunch is packaged to minimise resources.

Photos and step-by-step guides show children how to make appealingly tasty yet nutritious food including bean burgers, pizza pods, popcorn, lemonade and vegetable crisps as well as their own handy packaging.
