When I started my zero waste journey glass jars were one of the items I invested in right away. They have so many purposes: canning, storing food in the refrigerator, getting coffee to-go, storing food in the freezer, bringing home leftovers from restaurants, storing food in the pantry.

When I first switched to a waste free lifestyle I found that the majority of my trash and recycling each week … More What’s In My Shopping Bag
It seems that a prerequisite to being zero waste is owning at least two mason jars. One to take with you and fill up with pretty green smoothies or fair-trade coffee, and the other to store your tiny amount of trash in. When I think zero waste, I think trash jars.
