This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Mandala. Congrats!
A couple of weeks ago, I received a phone call from a little production called The Today Show! They wanted to interview me for an online segment detailing my top three tips for health, fitness and being green. What ensued was a conversation that unfolded about going green this school year. I can’t honestly tell you what I said…I was nervous and humbled and in a bit of shock about the whole thing. But what I hope came across was the fact that Americans, in general, need to create less waste and conserve more.
If you think about the typical lunch and what it entails…you realize that one lunch creates a lot of waste. Paper napkins, plastic silverware, cardboard juice boxes, disposable sandwich bags…
Citizenpip is a company that believes in the power of small changes. Created by a mom, the company offers muck-free reusable lunch gear in designs that are attractive to kids and easy for parents to use.
People today are much more informed about green issues and open to ideas on how to reduce their carbon footprint. Switching from disposable to reusable is a simple change with great long-term impact.
Citizenpip offers a complete line of reusable lunch gear and kits that are free from lead, BPA, and phthalates. Their lunch bags (which come in four designs) are lightweight, insulated, waterproof, and made from recycled materials. I only wish they had a few more designs. I adore the lightweight, stainless steel water bottles because despite the fact that they’re not insulated, per se, they manage to keep drinks colder longer. The containers are surprisingly made from polypropylne, leakproof, and freezer-safe.
Citizenpip offers a starter kit (RV $42) which includes the following:
- 1 insulated lunch bag
- 1 stainless steel water bottle
- 4 airtight airtight food containers
The kit is actually made well but I would have liked for it to include one flatware set.
Right now, you’ll save 10% with the code “rockinmama10″
Win It! One of you will win a starter kit in the design of your choice. Simply leave me a comment with one fact you learned on the site. Comments will close on September 8, 2010 at 11:59 PM PST. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter.

I like the stainless steal beverage containers. Saves money and good for the environment. I see more and more mom’s doing this instead of the store bought juice cups. I wish more companies would make earth friendly products, especially for our kids to learn for the future.

I learned the following: “Muck-free is a highly non-scientific, but short way for Citizenpip® to say “lead-free, BPA-free, PVC-free, and phthalate-free”. Muck-free materials are food-safe and do not contain hazardous or toxic materials that can leach into food and drink. Lead, BPA, PVC, and phthalates are substances that are known to be harmful. We have purposefully selected products that are free of these substances. The stainless steel products are made from food grade 304 stainless steel. Plastic materials are made from polypropylene (#5 plastic) which is BPA-free and has no known hazards. The lunch bag is lead-free, PVC-free, and phthalate free. All products have been lab tested by a CPSIA accredited testing laboratory to meet FDA requirements and CPSIA standards.”
This is important to me as I don’t want my kids to have their luches packed in containers that contain toxins of any kind.

The cointainers are airtight and leakproof, and can handle anything from fruit salad to yogurt!
I think it’s wonderful that they’re promoting going “green” and giving back to schools!
I love the fact that they are leakproof. Forget the old sandwich for lunch in a ziploc bag. We could send more nutritious lunches. The fact that they are airproof is great!
Thank you for the entry,
