Want to stop global warming? Just ask a kid. More specifically ask Hunter Gross, a 12 year child from Long Island whose desire to save the Earth resulted in the creation of Project Kool’s Lunch Sak. These canvas lunch bags were created to reduce the endless stream of plastic and paper attributed to children’s lunches.

Global warming lessons are as common in the schools now as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are eaten during lunch. In Hunter’s case, this lesson struck a cord, and he knew that he wanted to do something to help stop global warming. This wasn’t just a whim of the day like many children have. He was serious. So, the Gross household brain stormed, and the end result was the creation of the Lunch Sak, an all natural cotton canvas washable lunch bag with a Velcro closure. Extremely kid friendly.

As busy parents from car pools, jobs, and sports, who has time to figure out what to serve our children that is healthy, organic, and tasty at the same time? Even if you try and cook healthy food (been there), our children just sneer at it and push it away. With reports of the increase in childhood diabetes 2, ADHD, and food allergies, Smart Foods Healthy Kids is a much needed beacon to empower parents to create a healthier lifestyle for their children.
