Kids Konserve – Food Kozy Review

Food Kozy is genius idea to wrap  sandwiches, bagels and cream cheese, tortilla roll-ups, meat and cheese slices, apple slices or whatever you want to wrap up and take along.  Also perfect for use at home! Wrap up blocks of cheese, deli meats, cut cucumber, bell peppers or whatever else you used to put in plastic wrap or foil.

It looks very attractive to wrap the food and also the food stay fresh so the kids can enjoy lot to have their lunch at school and they won’t waste the food.

Are All Three R’s Created Equal?

It is important to remember that the 3 R’s of waste reduction are not equal! Reducing the volume of products we consume is the most important of the 3 R’s because it reduces our impact on the environment the most. Reusing materials comes next in environmental importance. When we reuse, we save more than just the material that a product is made of. Large quantities of energy that we cannot see and don’t think about … “embedded” energy … are also part of every product, built into it from mining to manufacture to disposal with lots of transportation involved at every state of its life. Recycling, while an important effort, results in the least reduction of our environmental impact; it saves materials but uses a great deal of energy to collect, sort, clean, melt or pulp and re-manufacture those materials into new items. Each round of recycling also diminishes the quality of the recovered materials. For these reasons, it is important to reduce and reuse as much as possible and only then resort to recycling.
