Plastic food baggies are both a godsend and a curse. They make storing leftovers a snap but with this convenience comes the guilt over throwing out yet another perfectly good bag as you are too busy to bother with washing and drying it.
Thankfully some creative folks came up with the Bag-E-Wash, a plastic dishwasher attachment that lets you easily wash and dry the bags. Bag-E-Wash can take a single use bag and have it work for you anywhere from 25 to 50 more times. Since you can now reuse the bags you not only save money but you are doing your part to help keep yet one more plastic bag from an early grave in the landfill – where they will sit for a thousand years or so before biodegrading.
You may think, who cares, its only a one lousy plastic bag but when you have millions of people thinking the same way it adds up quickly. There are already trillions of various kinds of plastic bags in landfills and many plastic bags fly away in the wind after they are discarded—getting caught in fences, trees, sewers, even the throats of birds, fish, and other animals. While seemingly insignificant, if we all start to change the little simple ways we live to be more eco-friendly it will inspire others around you to do likewise.
