Food Storage in a Modern World

When you have leftover food or are packing a lunch what do you use to store it?

What is most important to you when it comes to storing food?

You're at Walmart to buy sandwich baggies. A set of 50 plastic baggies is $3.28, and a set of 50 wax paper baggies and reusable sealing stickers is $5.99. Would you be willing to pay the extra amount for wax paper bags if it would significantly make a positive impact on the environment?

Say you joined a local program that was intent on making the switch from plastic baggies to wax paper ones to reduce plastic waste in the environment. And say for the first 20 purchases of wax paper baggies that you made from the store you were rewarded by the program with a reuasabe prize of your choice. Prizes could include: metal straw + cleaner, reusable cloth shopping bag, wooden toothbrush, wooden or metal utensil set, wax paper baggie sets, etc. How would this impact your decision to switch from plastic to wax paper baggies?

A plastic bag is used for an average of 12 minutes, but can persist in our environment, and pollute our communities, for generations. (Arizonapirg.com) What is your reaction to this statement?
