Serious question, my reusable bag streak has me feeling pretty good. What's your simple planet helper?

I made it a goal to always bring my own bags to the store, and it's been a month now. Seeing less plastic in my home is a real win. What easy habit do you have that cuts waste?

Ever feel like your kitchen is turning into a glass jar museum? I gave that a shot once and quickly learned my spaghetti sauce does not need a hint of pickled beets. Those lids never seem to fit again no matter how hard you try, so your bulk oats get weird and soft. My cabinet sounded like a wind chime in an earthquake whenever I needed a bowl. It felt less like saving the planet and more like running a failed jar hotel. Honestly, my reusable bag habit is about all the container chaos I can handle.

Saving glass jars from pasta sauce and pickles. My whole cabinet is full of them now for storing leftovers and bulk food. Beats buying new containers every time.

A whole cabinet full of old sauce jars is crazy. I tried saving jars once and only got a few before I gave up. The lids don't fit right after a while, and they always smell like pickles. How do you handle so many glass things? I'd be scared they break when I open the door. It seems like too much work to me.
