Washing and Reusing Sandwich Bags
Lavar y Reutilizar Bolsas Plasticas (Sandwich)
In another video by Captain Obvious (me, Pablo Martini!), I show you an easy and efficient way to clean and reuse your ziplock bags. (It's so easy, once you see it, right?! Still, it took me a while to figure it out, so I hope this saves you some time.)

Empanadas al Tablero de Mandos

Biodegradable Plastics:
This should be a no-brainer, but given the infrastructure and other major changes required to shift to earth-friendly plastics, we're still treating forever plastics and fossil fuel byproducts as if they're disposable. Here are some links to add to this discussion:
- "New process makes ‘biodegradable’ plastics truly compostable" (a 2021 study from a team at UC Berkeley)
- Symphony Environmental: a company that makes biodegradable plastics, including food and snack packaging.
