my green traveler presentation
DESCRIPTION
We have designed a unique, reusable, food container that is highly portable, back-pack friendly and perfect for those who travel, walk or bike often. It is also great for parents with children and adventurers. It holds a total of 33 ounces in four separate, liquid-tight compartments, each with their own lid plus two small compartments perfect for condiments, vitamins or pills. When closed it is the shape of a thermos: 3.5" diameter and 13" long. When open it can double as a place setting. There is room for utensils and various kinds of foods. Our mission is to provide a means for individuals to reduce their use of disposable containers and packaging to reduce overall solid waste associated with acquiring a good meal. Pack food from home or take it empty to fill with restaurant leftovers! Find us on 40billion.com to donate! For more information: mygreentraveler.com.TRANSCRIPT
