> are they supposed to carry several reusable bags on their person at all times? I don't get it. Do you think going to the market, especially among poor people, is some spontaneous event? I live in Mexico with its awful purchasing power and, yes, everyone -- especially those with less money -- are bringing their own bags. Here's how that plays out: 1. I need to go to the market 2. I'll bring some money, reusable bags, and my shopping list 3. Oh, and I'll bring my sunglasses because it's sunny Why is this such a surprise to you? Poor people are also likely to reuse other things like clothes (hand-me-downs) and containers (like yogurt containers) just like anybody else. It's ridiculous when people like you assume poor people are so helpless and dumb that they can't even muster the foresight to bring a bag to the market.
