Regarding bag tax, I have trouble believing this is more than your own anecdotal observations, do you have any sources to back up that claim? Most cities in Europe charge a lot more than 0.05 per bag (Austrian supermarkets generally charge between 0.25-1€) yet most people just bring their own. I buy the more expensive variant (cloth material) which survive about a year.

- glenneroo 8y agoI use them for everything... they often end up as bags for recyclables (e.g. bottles, metal with sharp edges, paper) so they get chewed up fairly fast. Even if I only use them for exclusively shopping, I go 1-3x per week (~100 excursions/year) and when it's warm we throw a lot of BBQ parties so some of those trips are overloaded with heavy stuff which ends up cutting corners in the sides.
