Hi Diana, As the post indicated the study was sponsored by the plastics industry but I think that some of the results would have been the same regardless of who sponsored the study. why? Simply because often we are too busy or don’t think about the storage or uses of the bags and the need to keep them clean and dry.

That particular study was funded by companies that are part of the PLASTIC BAG INDUSTRY. I can guarantee you that a study funded by a neutral source will not have such “findings.”

That’s pretty gross; and amazingly not something many people (myself included) think about. It look like the reusable grocery bags around the house are going to have to be included in the regular dish towel laundry routine. I’m amazed that I never thought of this before!
