TL;DR: Replace your single-use sandwich bags with these reusable silicone ones from Stasher, which are 25% off on Amazon.


The anxiety attached to climate change — more specifically the overwhelming feeling that you're not doing enough — is so universally felt that it has an official name: environmental guilt.

At some point, it feels impossible to go about life without being wasteful. You can be the world's biggest reusable straw stan, but you'll eventually be at a restaurant where the waiter gives you a plastic straw before you can say something.

Fortunately, more and more options are popping up to help the average consumer do their part on a daily basis without a huge lifestyle change. You can now swap out your single-use sandwich bags for silicone ones that can go in the dishwasher, and they're 25% off on Amazon.

According to Statista, nearly 71 million Americans used three to five sandwich bags over a seven day span in 2019. Over 10 million consumers used over 20 disposable sandwich bags in that same period of time. On average, it adds up to a pound of plastic bags per person, per year — which will either be dumped into the ocean or left to decompose for hundreds of years in a landfill. The switch to reusable bags is a no-brainer — especially when it's cutting out your spending on new boxes of bags every few months.

Coming from someone who has been obsessively washing Ziploc bags for as long as I can remember, the fact that the bags from Stasher can go in the dishwasher is a massive time saver. The platinum food-grade silicone is also safe for use in the freezer, microwave, boiling water, and the oven up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and food is much less likely to be smashed in lunch boxes.

Stasher offers sandwich, snack, half-gallon, and stand-up bags, coming in seven colors from clear, to aqua, to pink. Choose your size and get 25% off here.
