Do some heavy lifting the next time you drain the last drop from that sublime bottle of Patron tequila. Before you dump it into the recycling bin, think: could I reincarnate this bad boy? A rice container, perhaps? Azucar? Combine this tactic with bulk buying from your local natural foods store and you slice out the package-hungry middleman. You get hip containers. The icebergs buy a little extra time.

Thanks to Winston Ross for suggesting this tip.
