Rick:
Thanks yet again. The picture you posted of the bird in bag just makes me want to cry. As does this one the plastic
inside the birds:
The movie you recommended and these pictures make it real for us and hopefully change comes next. Once we are into this WOE, as I have heard it time and again in posts here, we often begin to connect the dots. Then it becomes so terribly clear what is happening to the flora and fauna of our earth -- due to the way we eat and consume!
Also, I should point out that the Reuseit website I posted earlier sells & rates more environmentally sound products options . I think someone on this thread asked how to keep things well in the fridge absent plastic bags - this site could help solve that problem. As they say it's a "shop learn, take action site". I have gotten a few things here that I am happy with. I had been using the Debbie Meyer green bags for
food storage. but I now see there are a zillion more new alternatives.
Thanks to your posts today I am in a reevaluting mode of the things I have been doing - and I am finding new options that are improvements to the ways that I thought were sufficient. That's so cool
Stuff for those of enough not clever enough to make our own,

Our food storage containers and foods savers will help you waste less food and money, and enjoy your fruits, vegetables and other time-sensitive foods longer. Some, like the reuseit Produce Saversafely & naturally slow the produce aging process by absorbing ethylene gas and other ripening agents. Others simply store your food in a smarter way, protecting it from air, light, and other environmental factors that can cause spoilage. Plus we offer a growing line of high-quality, safe, reusable plastic and glass food containers. (Keep in mind plastic food containers used to package food are not specifically designed for reuse and my leach harmful chemicals over time.)
I just saw a bag for storing potatoes - boy- do I have problems getting through the big bags of potatoes on time.
So, I am going back in...right now..to see what I can find next
