Thanks for posting the PakSel info. I use their cellophane bags for my salad greens and for basil, peas, beans and tiny summer squash. I stress to customers that the cellophane is biodegradable. It costs me a little more in dollars than plastic, but I don't have to suffer from putting more and more plastic bags into the world. One of the best field trips I ever chaperoned was to our local dump. It's in a wooded area, and the surrounding circumference is covered with plastic bags blown into the bushes and trees-a dramatic representation of the future of each plastic bag we used. PakSel does a good job, I frequently get my orders the very next day ( I do live closer than most of you) There must be east coast suppliers of cellophane bags too - you can at least each ask your current plastic bag supplier to carry cellophane.
