Comments on: Plastic Challenge: Laura A, Week 16 http://myplasticfreelife.com/showyourplastic/2011/05/plastic-challenge-laura-a-week-16/ Take the challenge. Collect your plastic waste (both recyclable and non) for one week or more. Then photograph, tally, and post it here. What can we learn about our habits and lifestyles by examining our waste? And what changes can each of us make to leave the planet a little less trashy?

There are so many options for cold vegetarian lunches!! Obviously, it totally depends what you like… but here are some ideas:

Wraps filled with hummus, lettuce and raw veggies. (I make my own wraps and can pass along the recipe if you need it).

Salads. Add beans, veggies, whatever you like.

Cold pasta salad.

Chickpea tacos (or black beans… whatever you like). Use homemade tortillas or romaine lettuce

Magical Raw Tacos are YUMMY. Just have to sub ingredients for what is available to you… http://theblissfulchef.com/2010/04/meatless-monday-magical-raw-tacos/

For ideas, check out Vegan Lunch Box: http://veganlunchbox.blogspot.com/

Another resource (though made from plastic) LapTop Lunches Menu Library has a lot of creative ideas: http://www.laptoplunches.com/bento-menus/

Oh my… can you tell I dig food?? Hope that helps! If you need more help, just let me know! :)

I think it depends on what’s available to you in bulk. For me, I would make sandwiches (plastic-free bread), pasta salad (bulk pasta), bulgar or other cold salad from grains. You know what? I depends on what you’re willing to eat cold. I like cold pizza, so maybe I’m not the best person to ask. I’ll post on my Facebook page tomorrow and see what people say.
