One small step for lunches, one giant leap for landfills

Sometimes it's the small changes I find the most satisfying: taking baby steps to stay away from plastics, reduce our family's waste, or just make daily life a little prettier. Maybe that's why I love browsing through Washington-based Plum Creek Mercantile. Each of their simple, thoughtfully designed products aims to help us live a bit more softly on the earth as we go through our day.

The reusable snack bags are a perfect example. These charming all-cotton pockets replace the hundreds of disposable plastic baggies we use each year for lunch boxes or snacks. A velcro-style closure prevents spills, but is still easy for kids to open. Cleaning is a snap: toss them in the washing machine or just handwash them along with the dishes. And unlike other reusable containers, you don't have to worry about misplacing a lid.

They're just the kind of tiny change that makes me smile.
