Anything But Plastic

Plastic shopping bags and the environment

"Plastic shopping bags have a surprisingly significant environmental impact for something so seemingly innocuous."

Darn straight. Plastic shopping bags are so prevalent in my area, unless you're shopping a health-food store. I can't recall the last time I was asked "paper or plastic". That's a lot of bags, every day, steadfastly not decomposing for 20+ years.

It's not so hard to minimize your use, just invest in 3 or 4 woven or cloth bags and bring them to the store with you. Sure you have to remember, but you already remembered the shopping list, didn't you? Why not this, too?
