#1 "green" issue is size of household. Not lunch bags. How many kids do you have pp?

Have issues much? Don't foist your insecurities on others. Sometimes a bag is just a bag.
The PP might have been a bit harsh in her delivery. But I see her point. I have two boys away at college. One in high school. No way would any if them have carried a LL Bean, Pottery Barn, or any other type of trendy lunch bag. They also don't watch "What not to Wear" as suggested in another thread.
My sons carry those type of reusable bags, and at their school, the kids eat throughout the building, not in the cafeteria. They pull the bag out of their backpack, and eat; it's not like they are parading around with the lunch bag and nothing else. No one gives a damn what their lunch is in.
Yes, same with my 15yo son. He often takes dinner leftovers in a Thermos along with fruit and a cookie or whatever. To my knowledge, his friends do the same, or similar.

I saw instructions on how to make a duct tape lunch bag. Basically a brown paper bag made from duct tape. Might hold up better, fits the "green " idea but also doesn't look like mom is shopping for him.

He doesn't have to take the bag out of his backpack. What are these other teens bringing their lunch in? if he is trying to fit in, then do as they do.

Was brown paper bags. Now ziplock bag in backpack. Takes things out he wants to eat and leaves the rest and the bag inside his backpack. Prob would prefer to just toss stuff to eat inside his backpack.

Brown paper bags. I like them too when I pack my lunch.
