Better late than never. If we had a responsible government and population, we’d have outlawed all paper and plastic bags 50 years ago. No one in this country is wise or smart. I first went to Europe in Spring, 1969 and realized then almost everyone carries a shopping bag. So, why didn’t anyone in this country ever have a clue until now? We are so selfish, just pigs, trashing our Great Mother for plastic and every other cheap bauble on the planet. The Europeans here trash their own backyards, don’t clean up their industrial wastes, pile up nuclear waste by the millions of tons, and no one cares. Europe does. I’ve carried shopping bags ever since 1969 and do not use plastic or paper. I have more respect for my Great Mother than probably 95% of the lazy, spoiled Americans trashing my world. We appear to be a society of 3 year olds, haven’t learned to clean up after ourselves, ever, yet. What a horribly selfish self centered population we have, and now destroying my planet at breakneck speed, with both feet on the accelerator, a vapid society with no spiritual basis whatsoever.

I recycle all my bags
It takes a while to get into the habit. But once it was there, I kind of felt silly for not going with reusable fabric bags sooner.
If you get good ones: (1) They’re much, much stronger than paper or plastic bags. (2) They hold more, safely. (3) They’re much easier to carry when loaded.
In the UK you can buy a bag for 70p - $1 which is a strong bag , or pay 6p - 10cents for a ’ bag for life ’ which means if it gets torn take it back to the store and get another one for free .
