Wonder Thunder Reusable Produce Bags

Blue LargeLong before being green was hip, I eschewed plastic produce bags. But, not because I was an early green convert. It just seemed redundant to put produce in a plastic bag to then go inside another plastic bag when I was just going to wash it at home anyway. Now there’s a way to be good eco stewards while protecting your vegetables en route home, unlike me who continues to leave mine defenseless.

There’s probably an advocacy group out there to stop people like me from being so cavalier with how I treat my produce in transit. Perhaps I abstain from using produce bags because it’s the wannabe Eurosnob in me rebelling against the American obsession with over sanitizing every surface we touch. Ever since I first visited Paris and noticed that people bought baguettes at the local boulangerie and walked home with the bread under their arm, yes TOUCHING their clothes and I surmise that they eat it without putting Purel on it first. Red Medium

Okay, I jest but I think my francophilia has saved me from my innate desire to sanitize everything. I feel like my personality type, Classics, can get carried away with cleanliness worries. I bet Smarts and Organics have the easiest time knowing when to say when and then Funs are probably as bad as Classics.  Hmm, maybe this topic will be one of my first entries when we turn on the blogs again in October. Regardless of your personality type, these bags make sense from a waste/reuse perspective, you can store them in your new Baggu, and feel good about yourself.

Oh and Katie says that Organic Freedoms and Smart Freedoms can just go on throwing their produce into the cart without a little disposabe baggie or (oh God something else I have to wash?) reusable produce bag.
