I mostly use plastic as glass is just really heavy and inconvenient.

I really don't like the fact, but I have to use them.

Yes, I use them to pack food and store in the freezer. They help a lot especially in the house.

I occasionally use them, but I have a large collection of glass containers of various sizes and shapes that I prefer. If food needs to be microwaved, I only use glass.

While convenient, I'm mindful of reducing plastic use. I often opt for eco-friendly alternatives like glass or stainless steel containers to contribute to sustainability.

I do because it's cheap and convenient but I feel a bit guilty about it because of environmental ( I do reuse as much as I can) and also health concerns . But I also don’t really think much about it.

Yes, I do. I prefer then because it's easier to microwave food inside them.

I mostly still use plastic but I have started adding more glass containers into my collections of Tupperware. Every time one of the plastic ones break I will throw it away and replace it with a glass one.
