After we made the switch to reusable shopping bags it seemed counterproductive to still be using the plastic produce bags. I turned to Google to crack the case and it turns out that once again Amazon had the answer to all of my produce bag problems. I ordered the Naturally Sensible 5 pack of bags for about $15. I could hardly contain myself waiting for them to arrive. The first time I used them at the store my daughter Harriet (not her real name) kept looking around because she was uncomfortable with what I was doing. I asked her if she was embarrassed and she said she wasn’t but since I’m embarrassing most days of the week, I expect that my divergence from the norm was indeed an embarrassment. The good news is that she got over it and now I’m back to being generally embarrassing all by myself. Reusable produce bags won’t actually fit your melons but you don’t need a bag for them anyway.
This blog is my family's journey to living with less. We are exploring a zero waste life and blogging about it along the way. What the Waste?! is a comedic and informative source for how to start being environmentally responsible, informed about the dangers of plastic, and how to make better choices. Follow along with my family to see where to begin and what works. My promise to you is that I'll tell you what you need to know and keep it real along the way. You might just find that less is more!

You know, I've wondered about this for a while. I was thinking, what if we really stop using grocery bags, what about the produce bags?
ReplyDeleteWell, after this post, I went to Amazon and got some of these little guys. Uhm, I do get some strange looks in the store, but hey, they work really well.
Thanks for the comment! Your comment made me laugh because you really do get some strange looks at the store from time to time! Soon it will just be the norm, just like reusable shopping bags are gaining popularity.
