Answers:
Fruit and vegetables give of ethylene gas, which causes them to age and spoil!. By leaving them in the bag you are exposing them to more ethylene and causing them to spoil faster!. Take them out of the bag and put them directly in the crisper, they will last longer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes your fruit is rotting faster cause you are not allowing them to breath so it's better to take them out of the bag and put them in your crisper but avocados you want to get the ones that aren't quite ripe and when you cet home put them in a brown paper bag in a dark spot not in the refrigerator but in a caboard or something like that just untill there ripe,banana's i wont even put in the frig i think they last longer and taist better at room temp,hope this helpsWww@FoodAQ@Com

I put my washed and dried veggies into the crisper with a clean tea towel under to absorb moisture!.
I put one lot of veggies in a bag as I wasn't ready to use them that made sure I used up the old shopping first!.

Sometimes if the fridge is too cold that would cause veggies to rot faster!. See the cucumber and tomatoes and soft fruits, they would be first to show the signs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegetables should be kept in the fridge

Fruits can be left outside
