J.O., Canterbury.

I too use the plastic bags that magazines and advertising come in for our lunches. I haven’t bought plastic bags for over 20 years! I have started to use the plastic bread bag tags, too. I freeze left overs, etc. in the bags and write the date and contents of the bag on the plastic tag. Only when I’ve written on both sides of the tag, I throw it in the rubbish. I don’t use plastic covers to put over left-overs in the fridge, I put a plate on the bowl, or a saucer on the cup, which I then can put straight into the microwave if I need to.
