Eco-Friendly Lifestyle: 7 Simple Tips on Staying Green! By Tina Jo Stephens #1: Use glass whenever possible! Storing your food in glass is an eco-friendly and healthier alternative to plastic. Plastics contain harmful chemicals which leach into our bodies, our water supplies, and the soil. There are huge islands of plastic floating around both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, composed of plastics, chemical sludge, and other debris has grown to be twice the size of Texas! If giving up your Ziplocs is not an easy task, I understand. Try Debbie Meyers Green Bags. I love these and use them all the time! They are a great alternative to the average plastic food storage bag. They are reusable up to 10 times thus saving money and waste, the company claims that they reduce vitamin loss of produce up to 50% and that they are designed to keep certain produce fresh for up to a month. Nothing ever even lasts that long in my house but in my experience, they do seem...
