I just had to post an interesting fact about "green" choices that my daughter read to me this morning. Did you know that if you would substitute 1 large can (beans, peaches, tomatoes, etc) instead of two smaller ones when you go shopping, the annual savings in steel could build an Eiffel Tower on all six continents! (Fact taken from the book "The Green Book" written by: Elizabeth Rogers and Thomas Kostigen)
So, we can all make a difference in the carbon footprint we burden this planet with just by making just a few changes. The smart choice for those who do buy larger cans is to make sure you're buying plastic containers that are reusable/washable in the dishwasher to store the unused product from the larger containers. Looks like SAMS (http://www.samsclub.com) and COSCO (http://www.costco.com/) shoppers can easily make these choices!
