For those who may not have thought of this use . . . 

Those plastic bags make good packing material when mailing/shipping
packages, especially at the holidays -- use them instead of those
annoying peanuts, that, depending on what they're currently made of, can
be fatal if ingested by a non-human family members.

I learned this tip from my dearly departed mom, who used to stuff the
packages she mailed to us with them.  It might have been annoying had
recycling not been available or had we not sent a lot of packages back &
forth.

Not as interesting as newspapers, but infinitely preferred by me over
those darn peanuts!

Sorry, Mr. Bird, I no longer have any use for them, but perhaps there
are Visionaries who could use the plastic bags for package mailing,
hopefully to places where recycling them is easier than it is here.
