You're right. Green Boxes are WAY over priced. The Wally World stuff
IS recyclable, so that it doesn't go in the dump when you're done if you
do things right. Green Boxes will go in the dump if you don't recycle
them, though, making them no more green than the Wally World stuff
unless you do your part.

Why does going Green have to cost so much Green?

As to if they work or not for what they claim, I found a few glowing
reviews and somewhat more negative reviews, and on HSN itself, an
average of 2.5 stars, with all the rost I glanced over being either 1 or
5, so people either love them or hate them, very little middle ground
attitude.

Personally, I don't buy the hype. I can't find anything about this
stuff at Whole Foods, a company I personally respect on the subject of
organics. If these were all that, I would expect WF to at least give
them some sort of nod, if not carry them.

BTW: I shop soulard farmers market here in STL, and I get great storage
life in my down stair refrigerator without any special packaging. It is
a matter of humidity balance and temperature setting.
