Tip: Reducing waste equals reducing our impact. One way we can do this is by replacing throwaway plastic bags with reusable containers. Storing food items for instance in reusable containers instead of plastic sandwichs bags can potentially save you waste and money.

Another thing you can use reusable containers for is beverage containers. The next time you order your “custom, double extra-special but hold the…” drink consider using a reusable container. There’s even options for those who just can’t shake the need for that specific look and feel of that paper/plastic drink cup. Check it out here: http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/accessories/a3a4/
