Giving back is second nature: In 2015, we designed our first cause bag – a beautiful blue seabird inspired by the Albatross on Midway Island – and gave back 10% of the proceeds to support 5Gyres.
Our 2016-2017 cause bag featured a sea turtle, a beautiful (and well loved) animal at risk because of plastic pollution and many other issues like commercial fishing, habitat loss, illegal hunting and shell trade. It is estimated that more than 100 million marine animals are killed each year because of plastic waste in our oceans. Specifically, thousands of sea turtles who mistake floating plastic bags for food, like jellyfish, which is a main part of their diet. When they swallow this plastic debris, turtles can become sick and starve. In 2016-2017 we gave back 10% of the proceeds to the Sea Turtle Conservancy and to 5Gyres.
Today, our mission of giving continues with the Oceanic Preservation Society. We donate proceeds from every order to help protect our planet.
About
It all started around a kitchen table in 2008 for founder Kirsten Quigley. While raising her young family, she noticed how much waste was generated on a daily basis packing 20+ lunches a week and countless snacks on the go for classes, teams, and camps.
The Lunchskins brand was born out of her need for a planet-friendly and stylish alternative to disposable plastic bags. From the beginning, she knew that whatever she created had to be easy, affordable, and fun so people would make it part of their daily routine, and collectively have a much bigger positive impact on our environment. For the past 12+ years, 3GreenMoms®, a woman-owned company, has been helping families and communities think and act greener by replacing 2.8 billion plastic bags with Lunchskins bags.
With a background in environmental sciences, Kirsten has produced the world’s first patent-pending, self-sealing, disposable paper bag, and the first dishwasher-safe reusable fabric bag. All Lunchskins products give back to the planet with every sale and every time you use it.
