Does a Nude Food lunchbox have to be perfect? Nope! And that’s okay. 💚🌏
Nude Food isn’t about changing everything at once or having a perfectly waste-free lunchbox. It’s about the small swaps we make along the way.
Maybe this week you swap the individual snack size chip packets for a larger bag and portion some into a reusable container. Next week, you might swap packaged biscuits for a batch of homemade ones. Little by little, those small swaps can become great habits.
And when we all make small changes, they can add up to a big difference for our beautiful planet. 🌱🌏
Every little swap counts! 💚
Thank you, St Leonard’s, for your amazing efforts so far! It has been so wonderful to see so many Nude Food choices making their way into lunchboxes each week. 😌
And we’re not stopping here! Next term, we’ll be building on the great work we’ve already started by adding an extra Nude Food day: Nude Food Tuesdays AND Thursdays! 💚♻️
Watch this space- there will be more information to come!
