1. Buy smaller garbage bags. They definitely exist here in Europe; I can't imagine they don't in the US?
2. Why can't you use one of the paper bags provided by the retailers to support your whimsical impromptu shopping trips? Or are you really a very regular whimsical shopper?
- Wowfunhappy 8y ago> Or are you really a very regular whimsical shopper? All the time, yeah. I don't usually plan to go shopping, I just walk into the grocery store when I pass by. I probably will use paper bags—but, ironically, I feel crappy about the environmental impact, since I can't reuse them as garbage bags.
- tyre 8y agoWhat do you use for recycling? I use the paper bags for paper and cans
- Wowfunhappy 8y agoI use boxes from Amazon or similar. I have far too many of those already.
- jacobolus 8y agoHere in San Francisco, we use a paper shopping bag with a flimsy biodegradable plastic bag wrapped around the bottom as a compost bag (the outer bag keeps in water/grease and keeps the paper bag from falling apart). The SF compost bin accepts a wide variety of material, and as a result we don’t generate much landfill trash.
