I was watching an episode of Good Eats just now, which gave tips on how to create a good Turkey Day stuffing, and the always informative Alton Brown introduced me to a product that tugged at my eco-friendly heartstrings.
They are reusable produce bags made of organic cotton. So instead of taking those hard-to-open, filmy bags for your onions and garlic, which you only have to throw away before you put the veggies in your fridge, you can corral your purchases in one of these handy little numbers. Easier for you, easier on the Earth - I loved it, and had to buy some!
Before clicking to confirm the order, I made sure to do a little internet search to see if there were any coupons - a MUST if you're shopping at a site for the first time, as there's almost always a coupon for the using. And I found one: if you use code f70838, you'll save 20% on your order through 4/2/09. Sweet, right?
Besides the bags, they also sell Klean Kanteen reusable bottles, which are made of stainless steel and are a great alternative to the BPA- and germ-ridden plastic ones. They offer lunch box-sized ones for the kids, if you don't want to waste money and paper with juice boxes. I've already requested the sippy cup version as a holiday present for the kid.
If you're already thinking of XMAS/Chanukah presents, why not spend your green on some green goods this year? Your planet will thank you. :)
