To Twist or Not

By Mary Kult

I am not asking you to do the dance the TWIST!

I am asking you not to use the twisty tie’s you find in the grocery store.

These ties are not recyclable. If anyone has a good use for them, please email me your suggestions at marykult@gmail.com

The one use I have found is to twist the ties together to form a chain link. I tried to use this link to hold the brakes on my walker together to keep the brakes from catching on things. The ties easily came apart.

The amazing thing I noticed at a grocery store that they do not provide twisty ties for your use in the produce department. Please consider asking the grocery store manager to eliminate the availability of these ties.

If you feel you need the ties, make a knot in the bag instead.
