not put hot food in the fridge. ☕

today we will not put hot food in the fridge. WHY Hot food can impact the temp. in our fridges, making them use more energy to stay cool. We will reduce our energy waste by not putting hot food in the fridge. HOW Let food cool to room temperature before putting it in the fridge, or freezer, for that matter. From two subscribers on this tip: From subscriber Laura S. Thanks for this! What kind of reusable bag do you use for bulk? TWW Answer:  I use a cotton bag that I found at my local health food store. Don't have one near you? Etsy sells a lot of them, and you can search for shops near you to keep shipping emissions down. From subscriber Meghan N. "Can those coffee bags be recycled? I'm always confused because of the lining material." TWW Answer: "Great question! It really depends on which store you're in and what types of bags they source. Some have linings and some do not. The bags with plastic in them cannot be recycled at most facilities, unless you are able to remove the lining.  Check to see if your store does, and ask them if they would consider switching if they do have a plastic lining. The paper bags with linings still use less plastic than a typical plastic bulk or produce bag, so I'd still stick with the paper one. Try and reuse it, or buy a fabric reusable one to have the lowest impact!"   todaywewillnewsletter.com | #todaywewill Today We Will 377 W11th St NY, NY 10014 Add us to your address book Want to change how you receive these emails?
