tip tuesday – wash your plastic bags

Instead of using them once and throwing them away, wash your plastic bags and reuse them. Especially those strong plastic zip lock bags.

Wash them along with your dishes and hang them over your cutlery, or on the clothes line to dry.

Get the family involved and train them to bring their lunch bags home each day but avoid reusing your plastic bags if they have had raw meat stored in them.

This not only saves money on plastic bags, it reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfill.
