I will have to use that idea too.<br /><br />Also, lint-- a great camping fire starter. <br /><br />And I wish I were in town for the seed swap, I bet that will be great. <br />It seems like all is well on the Lefort Homestead!green--beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01126888980485003039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478697272625687846.post-45296542930865482682011-02-28T08:45:28.587-06:002011-02-28T08:45:28.587-06:00I've been trying to reduce waste at my house f...I've been trying to reduce waste at my house for quite a long time. I usually have one bag for the garbage pick up, but know I can do better!<br /><br />I save up non-recycleable containers (dairy stuff, salads from fast food places, etc.) and take them to my church. There's a cupboard in the kitchen specifically for take out containers. (We have a lot of food-related functions at church, and there are always left-overs for people to take home). <br /><br />I can't wait for the farmer's market to start up again. I bring my own bags, all sizes (re-use!). People look startled, but always say what a good idea it is.<br /><br />Clean peanut butter jar lids make great catch-alls for small things. We used them in the office for staples that we took out of documents.Elainenoreply@blogger.com
