Use reusable containers with lids rather than plastic wrap and aluminum foil to store leftovers. Eat those leftovers! I have a good friend who hates leftovers and throws any away after a meal. By eating your leftovers, you are saving money and avoiding the land fills. That’s crazy! Brew your own coffee.

My husband and I cook a lot and often have leftovers. We bought some plastic leftover containers, but those frequently cracked or broke. Not only do we save money this way, but we help the environment by having a slower turnover with our electronics. Use mason jar containers. Instead, we wanted something more durable.

Plastic containers from sliced lunch meat are great for leftover vegetable or casserole servings. Plastic one gallon ice cream tubs (we love ice cream) make great containers to carry food to picnics or gatherings. They fit nicely into ice chests and won’t break. Glass jars can be used for jelly and canning things like pickles.

Zero-waste is a concept that the very idea of waste should be eliminated; instead, any and all products, resources, materials, and leftovers should be returned for further use in the same or in a different capacity. Don’t Waste Food Cook only the amount you will eat, refrigerate any leftovers, and compost anything else.
