Raleigh Green Tip of the Week
Green Tip of the Week
This Green Tip of the Week is the first of many to come. Check back here every Tuesday for a new tip!
This week’s Green Tip of the Week focuses on how you reheat your food. The greenest, and safest, way to cover your food for microwave heating and cooking is to use oven-safe glass cookware, which eliminates waste and the potential for chemicals leaching from plastic wrap.
•If you do use plastic, only loosely cover food, allowing steam to escape, and never let plastic wrap touch food directly.
•Only use ink-free paper towels in the microwave. Most printed paper towels use non-food-grade inks.
•Microwave-safe” and “microwavable” labels on a plastic container or on plastic wrap packaging only means that the plastic won’t melt or crack in the microwave, but doesn’t guarantee that it won’t leach chemicals into your leftovers.
Look here next Tuesday for the next Green Tip of the Week. Does your company need a public relations firm in Raleigh? In North Carolina? Visit the MMI Associates website for more information. Any questions? Please give me, Patty, a call at 919-233-6600.
