It's biodegradable, renewable, and only needs to get from the manufacturer to your cabinet, where it can be replaced with heartier permanent storage.

Real environmentalists just pack the flour into their jeans pockets to avoid unnecessary paper waste

You joke but bulk stores exist where you can literally just take your own container and avoid the crappy leaky bags altogether.

Real environmentalists keep a little dirt under their pillow for the dirt man, in case he comes to town.

I just put it straight into my mouth to avoid the extra cleaning and energy of cooking. Don't you even care about the planet?

Same for sugar, it’s really annoying that so many things have switched to plastic. Gram crackers, Ritz and Saltines all used to be in waxed paper when I was a kid and were fine.

Now they switch to plastic, but make sure it’s tinted to mimic the old paper versions.

And it also needs to leave everything inside my backpack coated in a thin layer of flour.

What I don't get is why they put it in a single two-layer paper bag instead of two single-layer paper bags, which would clearly be more effective.
