    Our granddaughters in town like to go home with a little bag of pretzels each time they visit. For a long time, I have been reusing the bags to save on plastic. I recently purchased small, zippered cloth bags called Bumpkins that can be washed in the dishwasher.

    We had a party at our house. I was going to use compostable plastic cups but chose aluminum completely recyclable cups made by Ball and sold at Target. That saved 60 cups from the landfill. I noticed a a recent trip to the zoo that these type of cups are being used at the Columbus Zoo, too. They are only for cold drinks.
