One thing no one mentions about shopping during Plastic Free July is how many JARS you might end up with! Glass jars are a great alternative to plastic packaging, as glass and metal are more easily recyclable materials, but before you get rid of those jars, a better alternative is to reuse them. Of course everyone has their limits, but below we have a few easy (and trendy!) ways to give those jars a second life.

Are you surrounded by a mountain of junk? Does the spring weather have you wanting to tidy up and open your windows, but you can’t even reach the windows because of all the STUFF you acquired throughout the year, particularly over the holidays? Don’t push it into a pile and light a match just yet! This Waste Not Wednesday, we’ve got a strategy to help you declutter without just throwing it all away. Instead of, “out with the old, in with the new,” we’re saying, “repurpose the old, and make room for the new!”
