That's a wrap on the plastic fight

By ROB GRANATSTEIN

A little item from earlier this week asking why we pay for plastic bags, yet get styrofoam food containers for free stunned me with the response.

Cathryn Gray wrote to demand I pull my head out of the plastic wrap.

"Who lines their composter with plastic?" she wrote. "Wrap your leftovers in newspaper and deposit in a bin.

"Next, you don't need Mr. Gladman (for your garbage). Use the wax paper bag you throw out after your cereal is done. Be proactive with your takeaway; have a container for them ready to hand over to them instead of dealing with styrofoam.

"Doesn't this make sense?"

Well, I've been told

Good For You Catherine but you need to get a life

And I've been helped. My friends at Tupperware, Donald Duench and Ruth Demirdjian-Duench on McCaul St. came through with fancy, collapsable Tupperware.

I took it to the St. Lawrence Market and grabbed some pasta yesterday. The server filled me up without question and I think I actually got extra pasta out of the deal.

No waste either. But it is made out of plastic...

This is Something I have been doing.........
