Real Recycling

Although those blue and green bins are nice, they're not nearly as efficient as finding ways to truly reuse products at home. So, I thought it would be helpful to offer some tips about ways to use everyday items in great ways.

1) The jelly jar as a cup - almost any jar will work, but Bonne Madame is definitely my favorite. when you've gone through, take off the label, rinse it out, pop it in the dishwasher, and presto! you've got a beautiful glass to drink from. Apparently, there's even some company that uses European tumblers to store their jam in so you actually have a really nice set of glassware to go with that yummy spread.
