Are you tired of using too much plastic? Try these three simply ways to begin banishing plastic at home.
1. Use beeswax wrap. This is made from cotton coated with beeswax, jojoba oil and tree resin. It can be reused for more than a year and you can rinse with cold water to keep the wax from coming off. Beeswax wrap is the best alternative when compared to foil which uses more resources to produce and plastic wrap that contains high concentrations of BPA – a synthetic chemical that disrupts your cell functions, and does not break down in the environment.
2. Get Mason Jars. Glass mason jars are safe, functional, and versatile. They are an affordable alternative to plastic bowls and are great for storing leftovers and bulk foods.
3. Utilize Glass Spray Bottles that are perfect for storing household cleaners, cosmetics and culinary ingredients. They are non-reactive and impermeable ensuring that the products inside a glass bottle retain their strength and aroma.
