Crunch&Sip® sustainably
Mikala Atkinson, Nutritionist
The Crunch&Sip® program aims to help children find more opportunities to snack on vegies and sip on water across the day. Whilst this is our main aim, we also want to encourage families to pack with sustainability in mind.
This means limiting the use of single use plastics such as disposable water bottles and plastic zip lock bags. We encourage families to stock up on a few leak proof, reusable water bottles that can be washed and reused across the week as well as a handful of small to medium containers that seal well and are easy for little hands to open. Alternatively, there are a range of reusable soft pouch options that also work well.
Encourage your parents to invest in a few of these Crunch&Sip® essentials to make the classroom break easy and less likely to end in mess or spills. If you notice a family are doing it tough or don’t have the best equipment to make Crunch&Sip® a smooth experience, then drop us a line and let us know. We are always happy to send out a handful of containers or a water bottle to help those in need.
