Perry, you should write my posts for me. They’d be much more succinct… and funny. Thanks for the laugh today. I needed it.

Thanks for the article, which effectively highlights two very distinct segments of the population; those trying to eradicate plastics from their lives and those just trying not to swallow the bread clips.

Hi Beth, did I read somewhere that you’d transitioned to a bread box for some reason. Is there an update?
Do boxes keep bugs out? I fear the weevil.

Great idea! We do re-use the plastic bags we get storebought bread in. But I’ve been storing my homemade bread in plastic bags that I bought at King Arthur flour, not realizing there were alternatives. I’m going to make some cloth bread bags and see what we can scrounge up for a tin. Also appreciate the reminder to use aluminum foil to freeze loaves.

Hi,
I’m currently collecting plastic bread tags for a upcycle craft project. If you’re interested in sending them my way instead of the landfills, email me at thoeyngo@gmail.com

Thank you!

I recently bought a loaf of Fresh Baked Bread , besides the cost of it the taste is better as well . I slice pieces individually with my electric slicer into various sizes . When done I put bread back into cellophane bag then into a plastic after ridding any air after which I put it in my microwave oven for storage , thats as well is semi- air tight , It works , cost and taste is better .

You really want to prevent using breaf tie. They are made out of PVC which is not biodegradeable. Plus the price of recycling this material as gone down so much that nobody wants them anymore. We need to pressure bread companies to use other ways to close bread. See this Facebook page (mostly french) for more info. http://www.facebook.com/palalonde?v=app_2601240224&ref=profile#!/pages/Attaches/278592371161

Hi Jenna. Actually, the tin is not lined with BPA. It's not lined with anything. BPA is used to line cans that come into direct contact with wet food. This tin is not lined, and it's also not rust-proof, so I have to remember to dry it out completely each time I rinse it out! .-= Beth Terry´s last blog ..Plastic-Free Dental Floss? Not Quite. =-.
