Everything in that lunch bag can be washed and reused or at least an be dealt with in an environmentally-friendly manner. For example, most leftover food scraps can even be composted ( other than meat, of course ) so they can be brought home if a school or workplace doesn’t do composting. It’s quite simple, really.

After I had kids, I swapped that time to growing all sorts of interesting heirloom foods in my backyard. Besides providing large quantities of food for my family and a creative outlet for myself, all of this allows me a means of being generous to my community through extra food, plants and growing supplies.

Compost and mulch: Just as you can enrich the soil in a more traditional garden, it’s possible to do the same with your container garden. You can do composting on a smaller scale, and even use mulch, to prepare your soil. Work on composting in your containers through the winter, and when spring comes, your soil will be ready.

Over the years, their “bombs” have taken many different forms, from the first condom-filled versions to mud and clay seed balls to hollowed-out eggs filled with wildflower seeds, compost, and water. Sure, people do actually plant some of them, but I think throwing them is much more fun.
