Plastic Bags Protect Bike Seats and Backpacks
Plastic bags are awesome. They’re light and waterproof, which allows me to put them on the seat of my bicycle after it’s rained so I don’t get my bum all wet. After using plastic bags a second time I feel less guilty about throwing them away in the garbage. Yesterday, though, I threw one of the grocery plastic bags away after just one use.
I travel to the store with backpack on my bicycle. I went produce shopping and chose a half-vermilion half cream-colored white peach. It was just soft to the touch–perfectly ripe. I also chose some other seasonal fruits–which brings me to think that some people don’t recognize the seasonality of fruits and vegetables. Like it doesn’t make sense to buy strawberries at three times their price in the winter (unless you’re really craving strawberries); better to buy them cheap in the late spring. Anyway, so by the time I got home I was worried about perhaps my favorite seasonal fruit, the watermelon, which lay at the bottom of the bag, and I had forgotten about the peach, which had had its skin peeled back in the jostling, baring its pulpy flesh.
I took it to the sink to eat, and threw the poly bag away. No harm, no foul, no peach juice all over my backpack.
