To-GO Ware Food Tin

I’m always interested in seeing new ways of cooking or containing food.  One of the most interesting types of food products, in my opinion, is the lunch box.  Think about all the different ways people have tried to transport food in the past.  First there was the paper bag.  Then there was the metal lunch box.  Neither really did much to keep hot food hot or cold food cold.  The insulated bag came next, but it wasn’t that effective, either.  Small coolers with ice packs did a good job at keeping food cold, but they’re bulking and you have to refreeze the ice pack every four hours or so to keep it really cold.

Well, it may not be a solution to keeping food hot or cold, but the To-Go Ware Food Tin is certainly a different looking lunch box.  In fact, it’s more of a lunch pail.  This stainless steel food container is perfect for taking leftovers anywhere you go.  You can use it to cart your lunch up to your office, or you can use it to take food with you on a picnic or to a campsite.  You can even use it to transport food to a potluck dinner party or take a dessert over to a friend’s home.

One of the biggest benefits the To-Go Ware tin has is that your food will never come in contact with any type of plastic.  Plastic bags like those used by restaurants for take out can actually contain toxins and other parasites—these bags aren’t cleaned, after all.  Even the boxes and other containers (many of which are horrible for the environment) may come with hundreds of germs on them.  This metal container, however, will greatly reduce the number of toxins and germs your food comes in contact with.  It’s also a lot lighter than glass containers and pans.

Bamboo Office Roll-Up Mat

If you use rolling chairs on any carpeted area, you know how impossible it is to make them move easily.  Sure, you can put down one of those hard plastic mats, but those often look horrible, and they can flatten down your carpet and may even cause damage to it.  Plus, these plastic mats obviously take a lot of plastic and energy to make, making them not very ecological.  But fortunately, there is a solution: the bamboo office roll-up mat.

This amazing bamboo mat looks great.  It’s done in a dark cherry finish that will make your office look very nice.  The finish looks nice on just about any carpeted surface, especially if you have dark cherry furniture in your office.  The bottom of the mat is covered in thick felt to protect the carpet or hardwood floor underneath it.  If you’re moving or decide you don’t need to use the bamboo mat, it easily rolls up for storage or transport.

Bamboo is one of the most renewable resources on the planet, and that’s what makes the bamboo office roll-up mat incredibly ecological.  If you’re looking for a way to get rid of those ugly plastic mats while avoiding something that’s going to harm the environment, then one of these mats is perfect.  It also makes a great gift, especially for someone who has just moved into a new house.
