Save Jars for Reuse

Pinterest may want you to think that you need a cupboard full of matching mason jars, but reusing what we already have is one of the best ways to reduce our waste. This month, instead of recycling glass jars (such as pasta sauce, pickles, and salsa jars), I will save them to reuse for food storage.

Recycle My Tech

There's value in our old electronics! This month, I will properly recycle any old laptops, tablets, cell phones, or other electronics I have lying around so the raw materials can be reused and reduce demand for virgin materials - thereby also protecting critical wildlife habitat for animals such as gorillas and forest elephants.

    Not necessarily the most creative but I reuse jars for pickling and dehydrated items.

      Oh fun! I did this when I had a garden in New York and pickled cucumbers

      I also read about pickling watermelon rinds on the food scraps article list. I can’t wait to try that!

      That is okay! What are some of your favorite things you pickle? I enjoy pickled red onions on so many things and they are so easy to make.
