While Recycling is definitely a great thing, it's easy to forget the order of the three R's - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. They are in this specific order for a very good reason - the less you use, the less waste and energy it takes to create something. Reusing an item allows that energy to be more efficient. Recycling an item that has lost its usefulness ensures that it can be useful again.
So... onto our kitchen cabinet. Our glasses collection is a combination of novelty glasses (Bull and Bush Pub in Colorado, Freddie Flintstone from a fast food chain) , some regular glasses, and our reused glasses.
From left to right --
- Curious George makes pancakes on a jelly jar.
- POM pomegranate juice came in this modern, tall glass.
-Another type of jam, Queenie the Cow goes skiing and builds a snowman.
-A mini mason jar from Green Mountain Gringo Salsa (of Vermont). Mmmm... I will collect more of those!
So next time you break a glass or need more for guests coming over, have fun collecting your own personalized set of glasses. Drink up!
