Comments on: Plastic Farmer’s Market: My letter to Urban Village Farmers’ Market Association http://fakeplasticfish.com/2007/07/plastic-farmers-market/ Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:58:12 -0700 hourly 1 By: Sunny http://fakeplasticfish.com/2007/07/plastic-farmers-market/comment-page-1/#comment-95 Sunny Mon, 30 Jul 2007 16:16:00 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/2007/07/plastic-farmers-market-my-letter-to-urban-village-farmers-market-association/#comment-95 It is quite disheartening to see that type of situation. Many of those fruits could be packaged in cardboard type containers. However, there are people who wouldn't shop there if those items were packaged differently. We just have to continue being examples and working towards something different. I was glad to see the dining place in the building next to mine (OR State offices) start to use a cardboard type of to go container rather than a styrofoam one. Small steps I guess. My co-worker said that she didn't like them because the food tasted "different." I told her she was full of it and to be happy about it. Guess that's why I'm the recycling nazi (seinfeld reference) at work. It is quite disheartening to see that type of situation. Many of those fruits could be packaged in cardboard type containers.

I hope you get some results. I wonder if the vendors have to individually package certain items for health code reasons (vs. having large open vats of olives, for example).<br/><br/>I just started a blog for people who want to make their own alternatives to plastic bags, and added your site as a reference link. Do you have any patterns for making your own cloth or yarn/string bags? Thanks! You go girl! I hope you get some results.
