The Disposable Version

Today, one of my daughters happens to be departing on a multi-day school field trip, and one of the requirements was to bring a lunch with completely disposable packaging.  No insulated lunch box!?!  Oh, the horror!  Here is the same lunch as above, but packed for a landfill destiny.

It's just not quite as appealing, is it?  

I enclosed the peanut butter dip inside pairs of celery sticks to reduce the need for packaging.

This is a semi-disposable container from a previous lunchmeat purchase, so I felt a little better about its eventual demise.  To keep the chicken salad nice and cold, I wrapped a small bag of ice in a paper towel and placed it inside the container separated by waxed paper.
