Repurposing Glass Jars
Many foods and drinks come in glass jars, from tomato sauce to orange juice. These jars usually get thrown into the trash or recycling when in reality they have much more purpose in your everyday life at home. Glass Jars are easy to clean and they are an effective, sustainable alternative to plastic. Glass jars are a great way to store food because it preserves the freshness of the food and does not emit chemicals found in plastic such as BPA. Mason jars are a very popular way or organizing and storing food. Mason Jars are more expensive and have the same purpose as glass jars from your food. Glass jars have a variety of uses, and will save you money as well as reduce the amount of waste you create.
