Tupperware... We've been "Green" for 60 years!
What is “Go Green” from MSN Encarta

How? Three R’s… Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
It sounds simple but it really works. Get in the habit of incorporating the “three R’s” into products you use on a daily basis. This process can have an effect on what you choose to buy. It also affects how you use and dispose of things you already have.
Tupperware is a perfect fit! Reduce the amount of products you purchase and save! Reuse our containers over and over! And recycle when necessary!
