Lesson 1 : Re-Using Ziploc bags
Ok... so I really miss my weekly (sometimes daily) trips to Wal-Mart.... BUT.... I am learning that life goes on without it! I have quickly realized just how many Ziploc bags I went thru in the States. Since I can't get them here, I have begun to recycle them. I remember having to wash these thing out in Guatemala as a kid. Didn't like it then and don't really enjoy this process now but here it is nonetheless!
First, wash in HOT soapy water!
Next, rinse in HOT water with a cap-full of bleach!
Then, hang them upside down on the refrigerator to AIRDRY!
Towel drying adds too many bacteria! :)
(learned this trick from Aunt Lindy!)
Bags will stick till they are dry!
Then you start the process again with Coke Zero bottles to be filled with filtered water!
