Easy to clean! Glass is a non-porous material that resists dirt, is very easy to clean, and it’s clear at a glance whether it’s clean or dirty.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fast dry in dishwasher or drainboard. Plastic is porous, so drying is slow. Drying dishes is something I refuse to do. I think some people just put them away from wet, and then wonder why their kitchen cabinets are disintegrating or warping.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Less waste! Because glass is transparent, you can SEE your food, and will be more likely to eat it before it gets old. If you are a foodie and love fresh fruits and veggies, you will be very pleased with how beautiful they look in your fridge!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maintain freshness longer! Fresher in a glass? I believe, and my friends and family who have switched to glass believe that many foods stay fresher in glass than in plastic. (We have not conducted any scientific experiment, it is just our experience.) For instance—raspberries? Very perishable. I put some in a glass jar with a bit of paper towel in the bottom, and a week later, they were still good. For most fruits and veggies I would recommend: Put a half paper towel in the bottom of the jar before filling with produce.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Healthier for you! Glass is inert, so you won’t ingest chemicals like those in plastic, BPA or otherwise, which are endocrine disrupters with an estrogenic effect. (See my tips above for reducing exposure to the plastic inside the lids.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Healthier for the environment! Plastic makes its way into our rivers, lakes, and oceans, where it breaks down and is ingested by the creatures who live there. Eventually, we eat some of these creatures and are eating our own plastic waste.⠀⠀
