Plastic containers are no better than plastic bags !
They're still plastic.
Polystyrene is just as bad.
I've just watched a report that Paper Bags are also bad - they use far more energy to produce, and they use trees!
Put food in to a reusable container, box/tin etc. - it's far better and also cheaper in the long term.

Would you believe that there is a website called Wastefreelunches? http://www.wastefreelunches.org/links.html
I did a search on waste free lunches on Yahoo and found a lot of links. (skip google as you will get too much to filter through).
