But, anyway, so one of things on Recyclebank is that you can get points by posting codes from special boxes of Ziploc bags, I think from all the smaller sandwich bags which we hardly ever buy. But I was thinking, with the fact that Ziploc, along with Glad and (of course) Pyrex are making glass food containers now, why isn't Ziploc asking people for codes to those things? I would totally jump all over that because I am starting to make the transition to glass containers.
Going from plastic to glass has been really, really slow - I purchased the above container from Ziploc while on vacation and then got some small Pyrex containers after I got back. Plus, if you've ever seen the inside of our fridge, we basically pile up everything willy-nilly where ever it will fit, so sometimes we have food-a-lanches where containers launch themselves onto the floor from being stacked precariously on top of some cheese or a bag of carrots. So, I am going into this whole plastic-to-glass thing with a bit of trepidation because the nice thing about plastic is that it won't shatter or break a toe. Wait, I take that back - I did have a plastic container shatter when it fell out of the freezer but that was from a height and the plastic was brittle from being frozen.

We have shower caps. It's an innovation straight from Hellmouth. Sloshy bowls of last-night that all demand their own footprint, because god help you if you stack.
I like glass. It has a certain rigidity that I relate to.
Now a days all types of food are stored in ziploc bags only. These bags are safe and food can be stored for long period and also remains fresh. I also use these bags and even these bags are useful for students to store their food in when they store their books in Student Storage Solutions.
Shower caps?! Wha??? That's certainly inventive! I'm liking the glass thing, but I have to seriously do a fridge clean out and find some organizing principle for its innards.
