Bag man
I gave up plastic bags a long time ago.
Soon everyone here will have to do it.
California Closes In On Plastic Bag Bans
So I am an early adopter. That doesn't make me a "good person", better than anyone else. I don't suffer from the malady of "holier than thou" when it comes to things like this. Maybe other things but that is another story.
It is just a simple thing to buy canvas reusables and take them to the store whenever I go. Whenever. Even if there are a couple of things. Although I often falter on the quick stop off for a last minute thing. Then I try just not to take a bag when a handful works fine.
There is so much wrong with plastic bags I can't tell you. And anyway you know already.
There are some stores that have nothing else. Non-grocery stores. I don't take my canvas bags there. I don't like it but that is the only option to walking out with eight little items in my hands. They should be included in this too.
They now have paper re-usable some places. I have not seen them. I don't think I would go for it.
The canvas works fine. The other thing about them is that they are easy to load. No wire frames holding them open. Just open and load. Get the heavy ones. You only buy once. Make it good.
Oh! And what is more about the canvas, they have handles. You can carry them easily. OK?Here they are. Ready to buy. I don't get a commission.
