I've been using Indian tiffin boxes for take out (stainless steel so no leaching nasty chemicals like phthalates or Bisphenol-A) and every place I take them loves them. I've got a photo of them online here: http://www.greenmeupscotty.ca/weblog/update.html They're also great for lunch boxes for me and my two sons on our day trips. Oh, and I don't know if you read the Tyee, but they had an article titled "We Can Be Garbage Free" that you might be interested in: http://thetyee.ca/Views/2007/11/28/GarbageFree/ I agree – “greener” throw away containers is not the way to go.

My experience wasn't very great last time either. I will go back but not to the juice bar. I was wondering if bringing my own would help them remember - I think I even had one in my bag- I usually do. I guess maybe it would because it would be sitting in front of them. Thanks for commenting!:) Yeah it’s totally too bad because it’s a great place, but it seems like they may be having some problems. My experience wasn’t very great last time either.
