Thank you, Rossi, for this conscientiousness-raising piece which I'm so happy is a hot topic. Recently I opened the fridge and my heart sunk at the prospect of there being more plastic than food in it: I woke up to the realization that I was not the good steward I liked to think I was just because we recycled. So while (indefinitely) reusable silicone sheets that are supposed to stick to themselves don't without the help of a rubber band, they're excellent alternatives, as are the other alternatives you mentioned. My Grandmother baked bread and fresh pasta at least twice a week and didn't own anything plastic, period. I remember her using perfectly laundered kitchen towels and tablecloths to cover dough and dry pasta, respectively. If we all do our part -- if we all try harder -- good habits will take root. Thank you again for using this platform to address what has now become urgent.
