How much thought do you put into purchasing eggs? The most important thing that was ever on my mind when I purchased eggs in a store was how big they were, and if they were all intact.

Next time you are at your local grocery store pick the eggs that come in a cardboard (paper) package. These are often made from recycled material, and can be recycled again. Compared to a Styrofoam container that last many years in a landfill, this is a quick easy option with no negative impact on you.

Want to take it one step further? Reuse those egg containers.

• Use containers to start seedlings for your garden.
• Sort and organize small hardware (nuts, bolts, screws and nails)
• More ideas from the Alberta (Canada) Egg Producers website.

What ideas do you have for reusing an egg container?
