We have given each registered CP Climate member 3 beeswax wraps hand-made by Diana, Clare, Debbie and Terri. Say you have 1/2 an avocado, half a tomato or a chunk of parmesan cheese. Just roll it in a beeswax wrap, crimp the edges and pop it in the fridge. Have dinner leftovers? Put them in a bowl, cover with a beeswax wrap, crimp it around the edges and in the fridge it goes. If the wrap isn't sticky enough, you can secure with a rubber band.

How do you take care of them?

You wash them in soapy cold water and they will last for a year! Don't wash in warm water or, you guessed it, the wax will melt. And, of course, don't put them in the washing machine.

It is not a good idea to put any kind of meat or fish in the wraps.

Keep track of how many days each beeswax wrap was actually used in the fridge. For example: If each of three beeswax wraps was wrapped around something in the fridge for 10 days, that would be 30 days total.
