Dust off those old canning jars you know you won’t ever use for actual canning. They’re an excellent choice as reusable containers. They come in various sizes to meet your left-overs needs and are safe to use in the freezer. They’re nice because you can see inside (in case you forget to label them), and their shape means that they take up less room than plastic bowls. Toss them into the dishwasher for cleaning (thorough and won’t melt like plastic). They’re sturdy so they’ll last far longer than plastic containers. Plus, they’re people-friendly (contain no no BPA).
So, don’t feel guilty about your FTC syndrome*. Feel good about helping the Earth by reusing something that will last and is not made from petroleum products.
