Re-using glass jars to storage food. Last Xmas got as present 4 modular fancy plastic hermetic containers to storage grains/seeds. I believe the jars with seals on the covers, like those pictured, also do a great job.

Aspire To Be Kind, Not Nice
"What’s kind is telling the truth, challenging what’s not ok, advocating for someone who is not in the room to hear the conversation. If there’s no justice, there’s no harmony amongst us.” - Luvvie Ajayi.
