Green Tip 
An affordable, healthy, and sustainable Holiday gift idea:
1. Recycle old glass jars from the kitchen/pantry. Clean them and remove the labels
2. Make a big batch of healthy salsa (see last story or recipe highlights)
3. Place the salsa in recycled jars, add a pack of tortilla chips and give it away as gifts at your next Holiday gathering. 

Note: Remember to keep these jars of salsa refrigerated so they can last for 7-10 days."
