1000 Flowers for the Planet - #102 Buy Food in Glass

1000 Flowers for the Planet - #102 Buy Food in Glass

Glass is better for you because it is made from natural materials that do not leach into the food contained within it. There have been many claims made about the evils of plastic containers for food storage, which I won’t even attempt to go into here. If you buy foods that come in glass jars you have improved your life by avoiding the possible plastic issues and you’ll be able to reuse the jar for preserving your own foods, freezing foods or storage of almost anything else. Furthermore, you’ll be helping the planet by not putting plastics into landfill (or the water system), and by putting the jar in your recycling collection. And the final joy is that all glass is able to be recycled.
