Ditch Single-Use Plastic Bags and Get These Reusable Silicone Ones

According to Plastic Oceans International, more than 1 million plastic bags are used every minute, contributing to an ever-worsening pollution problem around the world. If you're looking to do your part in limiting the amount of single-use products in your life, you can start with these reusable silicone bags from Stasher that serve as a great way to store food without adding to the country's waste.

The 4.6-star-rated Stasher bags are made of non-toxic silicone and contain no BPA, PVC, or latex. They feature a tight-lock seal that helps food keep nutrients and flavors locked in, so you're getting the same quality out of the bag that you put into it. And in addition to simple storage, you can use them as a container to marinate foods in or as part of a sous-vide routine. They can also withstand stints in both the freezer and in a microwave. And when you're done, you can clean them right in the dishwasher.

You can find the bags in a variety of sizes and colors, ranging from your standard sandwich bag size to a larger half-gallon size. Some even stand upright, which is ideal for storing snacks.
