Green Tip: Cut an “empty” bottle in half to get more out
This here tip will reduce food waste AND save you literally pennies each time you use it! I had to use this here tip last weekend on a plastic barbecue sauce bottle. I squoze the bottle with my gnarled and calloused hands ’til nothing else came out, then good ol’ Tiff told me this helpful lil’ green hint:
1. Take bottle (lotion, ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, etc.)
2. Cut bottle in half using scissors (please wear goggles, gloves, elbow pads, and a mouth guard, and have your parents supervise you)
3. Use a spatula to get out the rest of the sauce, salad dressing, or what have you.
Simple. A tip that reduces waste while saving you money. Now that’s an EcoJoes© kind of green tip.
I’m EcoJoe and I approve of this message.
makes sense to me..
but what if there's more in there than what you desire?
Then you can either not cut it open, or you can transfer the remainder into a glass jar that will let you scoop out whatever you put in it.
obv a great post
Thank you, Mark Obv
Or you could not buy plastic bottles and containers to begin with. Seriously.
I know, I know… but if someone offers it to me for free, it’d be rude to turn it down
Suriously though, I do try to not get too much plastic when it’s possible.
