[pct-l] Plastic Bags

[Kathi]

Hello All,
So all this discussion of plastic bottles is making me wonder about 
pouring boiling water in plastic bags ... ziplock like described in 
"Lipsmackin' Backpackin'" or maybe even vacuum sealer foodsaver bags. I 
am already in planning for my 2010 trip... can't plan too soon you know! 
This was something that seemed a good way of not impacting the 
environment by washing dishes and you generally repack in plastic bags 
anyway.

Anyone have information on the toxic portion of this as well as any 
experience with the practicality of it?

Thanks in advance!
