My husband and daughter LOVE yogurt! But in an effort to continue my quest towards 'zero' waste - here is something to consider.Instead of piling your shopping card with dozens of single-serving size yogurt cups (or the multi-packs that contain them) stick to the 32 oz. tubs and dole out single servings into reusable containers. The single serve containers are usually made of #5 plastic, which is rejected by almost all community recycling programs.
Small condiment jars or baby food jars work well as re-usable containers and make for the perfect single serving size.
If you're industrious - better still, make your own yogurt!! It's so easy (so they tell me - I haven't done it yet) and requires no specialized equipment or ingredients. Recipes abound on the Internet but here is a "How To" link that also has a printable .pdf tutorial which you can print (use recycled paper **wink**) or save to your PC/laptop or portable drive.
