I never realised how many plastic bags I have accumulated until this experiment. Big bags, small bags, snack bags, sandwich bags . . . the list goes on. I found myself (on more than one occasion) reaching for a snack bag to put my apple in, then a Ziplock bag to put my leftovers in, and another to put crackers in. After doing this for years, not only had it become a habit, but it is also extremely wasteful. Instead of getting in the groove of only buying single-use sandwich and snack bags, invest in some reusable ones, such as Stasher reusable bags made of 100 percent high-quality food-grade silicone. It helps you cut down on plastic waste, saves you money, and is proven to be healthier for you — Stasher bags are nontoxic and you can even cook in them.
