I found them to be wonderful for a lot of things. <br /><br />One of the sizes will be just right to cover a cut onion - stretchy enough to give a tight fit. The largest lid is used as a cover when microwaving food to prevent splatters. Other sizes can be used in place of canning jar lids after opening the jar, same for open cans. They're really handy.mcadwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07389085903331519215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-34612827486621369722019-05-03T09:32:10.951+10:002019-05-03T09:32:10.951+10:00Thanks for adding to the discussion, MaryJo.

I too try to remember to take my own carry out containers to sit-down restaurants and refuse plastic silverware when possible. I purchased stainless steel straws and I plan to refuse plastic straws too. There are so many ways to reduce use, one only needs to be more conscientious.

I use a water filter and have used a thermos to carry my water (I like it cold) for probably 20 years. I have mesh bags for loose produce and carry reusable bags everywhere. My plastic bag use is down to almost zero. I bought a set of covered pyrex dishes for storage and am amazed at how useful they are and how infrequently I have to resort to plastic wrap or foil for leftovers. I deliver a "straw" lecture in every restaurant where I get an unrequested plastic straw. Since I rarely eat all of whatever I order in a restaurant, I'm starting to consider bringing my own "doggie bag" container when I go out. Haven't tried that yet, but why not?Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12283575512727062312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-81746882650725164862019-01-13T07:21:45.669+11:002019-01-13T07:21:45.669+11:00If everyone would recycle, it would help so much! ...If everyone would recycle, it would help so much!

I carry tote bags into every store, not just grocery stores but also department stores and shops. I refuse all plastic bags everywhere. I also try to buy items made of recycled plastic, as we need to create a market for the recycled plastic - a great one Dream Green batting from Quilter's Dream.

Good thought.<br /><br />I am trying to wean myself off plastic wrap. It used to be that if I had half an onion left, it would get wrapped in plastic, that sort of thing; now every thing goes into a reusable container. I have always reused freezer bags and am now more mindful about that, tossing them out for recycling only when they are no longer useful. However small an act, I think we have to do <i>something</i>.Rochelle @ eSheep Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00873971744083672144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035755590833291625.post-71392433167962353122019-01-10T09:38:41.159+11:002019-01-10T09:38:41.159+11:00Great tip!
