Fill It Again, Mom

We’ve talked about rinsing your bottles and jars prior to recycling them, but that can seem like a waste of perfectly good water. Here are some ideas on how to save water while getting a bit more out of your containers:

• When the dish soap bottle is nearly out, fill it with water and use the concoction to wash dishes.

• Use the water from rinsing your milk carton as an activator for your compost.

• Fill juice bottles with water and make a tasty juice/water cocktail for the kids.

How do you extend the life of your bottles and jars?
