Andy,

There are some fairly heavy-weight green bags (not the type with holes that
you described). They are green in color and generally called "green bags."
They are supposed to keep produce fresh longer in the refrigerator. I have
been interested in them but have not yet tried them. One variety is
frequently sold on TV, so you can probably see examples on eBay or by just
googling "green bags." Here's one example:
https://www.greenbags.com/?cid=402572. I'm always skeptical of these "too
good to be true" sites, but they are readily available in groceries here, so
I will probably get some -- especially after reading Phyllis' comments.
Thanks, Phyllis.
