#10 Use Re-useable Containers

Rather than using tons of plastic bags, plastic wrap, tin foil, wax paper, etc. invest in some re-usable containers. You may even be able to pick some up at garage sales for little money or even check out the free box – I find tons in there. Not only are you not adding trash to our landfills, saving money on your trash bill, but you do not create a demand for more of those disposable items to be created and the creation of more products have hug environmental impacts on our earth. And if you purchase and reuse these re-usable containers from a garage sale or thrift store you are also minimizing the demand for the creation of more of those products as well.
