We used to reuse our plastic bags for dog poop bags, for packing lunches, etc. Now we just have to buy plastic dog bags, etc. And then there's the annoying thing when I go to buy something small at the store and they have to put it in a large paper bag.
Also, our reusable bags, especially the ones for lunch get really gross, really easy. And there's no way I'm getting 130 uses out of it (see article link)
- tired_man 11y agoEventually the paper bag makers will catch up and you'll see all the bag sizes I grew up with. There were large bag ("garbage bag" size), and a smaller version of that, a shorter version of that smaller version, a lunch bag size, and a penny candy bag (about a cup and half in volume). I reuse all the plastic bags I get from the market until their shreds. There's a woodturner who lives on my street that recycles his plastic bags and the bottle caps from pop bottles into chisel mallets and pen turning blanks. Paper is a step back, IMHO, but the plastic bags have to go. Too many people today litter and the things are blowing all over the place.
