Even though we have managed to stop collecting plastic shopping bags, we have yet to stop gathering produce bags- which are wasteful and don’t help things to keep. I have been working on for myself a little mesh #….for shopping, not as attire. Just waiting for the material to arrive to make enough to shop with. Shopping bags are popping up in most major stores, but not the produce bags. The one I designed for myself is made from organic cotton mesh with a braided bamboo cording. I can wet the bag itself for a little moisture with out fear of chemicals- all organic natural color cotton, or I could even put a little wet towel in there for extra wetness. I’m considering making some little organic towels cut to size for the bags. After reading Crunchy Chickens post yesterday,(or the day before- I think I lost a day- it happens- don’t judge)and the feedback she got, I realized that this is an issue for a lot of people. There is not a whole lot out there available. I could probably make them for a few dollars a bag, depending on size, Runti-Jumbo. I am def. going to make one big enough for apples. The few I have seen can not hold enough to keep my kids in fruit for a day, let alone a week. Is this something people would be interested in? After my material comes I will prob run 1 or 2 on etsy to see if there is a response. Any suggestions? Needs? Wants? Tell me all of your produce dilemmas.
