I buy my yogurt at the supermarket here in Greece in glazed earthenware bowls - which I then use as the soup/salad bowl part of my dinnerware. However I now have just about as many of these empty bowls as I could ever need, and yet I have a constant desire for more yogurt each week. I suppose, since I don't know of any yogurt maker who takes them back, I shall soon have to begin discarding them. But I guess discarding clay containers in benign compared to discarding plastic containers.

I guess the really smart thing to do would be to start making my own yogurt again - a I did in the Himalayas almost 50 years ago. That yogurt went into big clay bowls too!
