Instead of using plastic bags or cling wrap to store cut veggies, use reusable glass storage containers. After placing the lid on the container, turn it upside down and store in your refrigerator drawer and you’ll easily see what’s inside! (For extra points, ditch the plastic or silicone lid in favor of a metal lid.) Also, some veggies – for instance, cucumbers and zucchini – really don’t need any kind of container. If we use fewer plastic bags, we'll use fewer petroleum products to make and distribute them – which will in turn reduce carbon emissions – and we'll send less plastic waste to our landfills.
