Are there other practical ways to store herbs, other than wrapped in the bag they came in in a big lexan????

So the Chef de Cuisine asked me the other day "can you figure out a better way to store the herbs?" My reply "well tell people not to throw the bags back in the lexan without rolling it back up, and to be more neat when removing what they need."

I have seen people wrap the herbs in damp towels. One place we would hang them, in the bag, from the wire racks.

The basic problem with any "system" is that the cooks actually DO IT. We use everything pretty quickly, so a method that preserves them better is not nessecary.

So anyway besides telling people to clean up after themselves and leave things neat and/or the way they found them. What other ideas do you folks out there have for storing herbs?
