We reuse and recycle everything we can!
Use them until you can't any longer.... then put in recyle bin!
We make wonderful fancy lunches at home and put them into take out containers and they are much better than the "store bought" meals.
We have had people ask where we bought our meals to go..... The answer: Home Sweet Home!Directions
Wash and air dry reuseable containers. Store until needed.
When a meal to go is needed, decide what container is best for the job!
Be creative!
Have Fun!

Woohooo, I am all about recycling too!!! I must say it comes from my Grammie as well. lol....she was big on "don't waste anything". We started the recycling bin a little over a year ago. Not sure if you are supposed to wash out stuff before you put it in the bin but I always feel compeled to do so. LOL....it's like I HAVE to wash it before it get recycled. hehe Thanks for the post Colleen. It's a great one.

I try to make use of every bit of packaging (spelling?) that comes into the house. All of our plastic bags and all of the egg cartons go to a food pantry here in Viroqua. And I wash all of the plastic and glass before it goes into the recycle container. Our recycling is picked up the first week of the month and a few times we weren't around to put it out. When I took it to the center, I was pleasantly surprized that most all of the recycle comes in clean. And you can bet that the fella who was there to collect the stuff appreciates it. That place has no foul odors because everyone washes it first.
