Newsflash on Mason jars

You smarties probably already thought of this, but here's a way to keep using Mason jars without the PVC lined lid piece: double some 'eco-friendly' non-plasticized plastic wrap or non-bleached waxed paper over jar, and screw on the lid rim over this. Of course this approach won't work for canning, but at least for storage purposes it should be adequate.
I'm still on the lookout for jars with non-PVC'd lids.
This post and the last bring me to the subject of storage of food in general, and how to do it in the safest way. Stay tuned for my first Enviro-Freak Special: "Innocuous Storage Techniques and Materials"
