Pencils? Check. Notebooks? Check. End-of-summer wistfulness? Double check. But wait—what’s this? Kids heading back to school are looking more sustainable (and stylish) than ever. We’re not saying kids’ love for reusable silicone straws started with us—but we do know a thing or two about making greener choices fun (and colorful).
Have you noticed? Today’s students are basically mini sustainability professors. From the moment they can pronounce “recycle,” kids are learning—and teaching us—the benefits of greener choices. Forget “Do as I say”; now it’s “Do as your six-year-old does.” Composting? Already a pro. Wax wraps instead of plastic wrap? Obviously. Refusing a single-use straw in favor of their trusty GoSili? They nailed that before they learned cursive.
Here at GoSili, we’ve seen everything from water bottles with more stickers than a laptop at a tech conference, to snack bags so eco-savvy they practically compost themselves (okay, not really—but you get our point). Sustainability isn’t just a class—it's the cool club everyone wants in on, and these kids are handing out the membership badges. Parents, take note: your little ones are out-greening you, and honestly? We’re here for it.
It’s not just another back-to-school trend. It’s a generational shift. Kids are talking about ocean pollution at lunch, opting for reusables at snack time, and gently “reminding” you (read: relentless nagging) to bring your own cup to the coffee shop. The numbers don’t lie:
- That one GoSili straw? It’s outlasting a pack of 300 of its disposable cousins (and inspiring playground copycats).
- GoSili snack bags: 1, landfill: 0.
- Kids + GoSili gear = walking, talking sustainability ambassadors who aren’t shy about letting adults know when they spot a wasteful move.
We’re not just making products; we’re making the planet a little less plastic—and a lot more fun—one lunchbox at a time. And if you’re feeling like your eco game could use a refresher, don’t worry: the next generation’s here to teach us how it’s done.
So, spill it (but not your drink; we’ve got a lid for that): what sustainable swaps have your kids brought home this year? Sound off, and make us proud this school year.
Check out our back-to-school collection—and let’s make every snack, sip, and smile count (for the planet, too).
