5 MINUTES OF CARING
TUESDAY, JULY 17, 2007 Put a Lid On It Snap it tight instead of zipping it closed.
If you're cool enough to save leftovers, store them in reusable containers. Invest in a good set of plastic food storage bins with some nice lids so you won't be using plastic bags that are only good for a single use and then get banished to the landfill. Also, if you pack a sandwich for lunchtime, carry it to work or school in something you can take home, wash, and use again. Plastic serves us best when we can reuse or recycle it. You should forget about the rest in order to make your world a cleaner, greener place. |

even better (for the environment AND your health) is to store food in a glass container with a plastic lid. Pyrex has some wonderful storage containers, including some nifty porcomments_comments options.
any time you can keep your food away from contact with plastic (especially when you heat it up...don't EVER heat food up in a plastic container), the benefit is greater.
With Pyrex, you have the benefit of a plastic top that can be sealed for freshness and easy transportation, but on a glass bowl for enviro and health benefits.
nice post! (sorry for the long comment)
