Plastic food bags of various sizes are very convenient for packing food to take with you for snacks, lunches, or other meals. They fit easily into a day pack or book bag or briefcase, and because they are one-use and disposable, most people toss them into the trash wherever they happen to use the contents. There are alternatives to these one-use plastic food bags, although they do need washing. I know of two kinds, and I’m sure there are more. Both are pictured below. The colorful bag is not waterproof and should not be used for gooey food because it might be hard to wash out of the threads used for sewing the bag. It is perfect, though, for snacks such as the pretzels shown below. The semi-clear bag is waterproof and can be used for gooey food or liquids. Consider investing in a few of these bags to reduce the number of one-use bags that you throw away. (Note – many of the one-use food bags can be recycled if they are clean and dry, so try to recycle the ones you do use.)
