Storage Bags, Sandwich Bags, Freezer Bags, Aluminum Foil, Plastic Wrap and Disposable Food Containers can take up to 1,000 years to decompose in our land fills. In addition, they can cost an average American family over $70 a year.
Simple Solution
Use containers that you only buy one time and reuse them. Again, Tupperware is great for this. You buy their food storage containers one time and they have a lifetime warranty. If your container breaks, you give it to a Tupperware representative and get a new one. The old container is then recycled. For lunches try their sandwich keepers, snack cups, tumblers, microwave reheatable containers, and modular mates.

More on Recyclable Water Bottles
Recyclable Water Bottles
The average American use approximately 167 water bottles a year. While the majority of these water bottles are recyclable, it is estimated that only 12 percent are actually recycled. Want to hear a scary fact: One Plastic water bottle take approximately 1,000 years to bio-degrade. Imagine the impact on land fills when all of these plastic bottles are added each year.
Simple Solution
Also, imagine the impact on our pocketbook. 167 water bottles times $2 a bottle amounts to $334 a year. Why not purchase a reusable water bottle rather than a disposable one. The one I purchase from Tupperware cost me $21. It is insulated so it keeps my water cold and it doesn't sweat. On top of that, it has a lifetime warranty. So not only am I saving over $300 a year, but I no longer have that tinge of guilt every time I take a sip of water from my bottle.

Paper Towels and the Environment
Paper Towels
If each family in America used one less roll of paper towels a year, we would save over half a million trees.
Simple Solution
Use microfiber towels. Several companies have them. The better the quality the longer they last. And they tend not to leave behind that awful lint you get with paper towels. My favorite are the one's you get from Tupperware. Good quality microfiber and they are green to represent going green.
