I used to use only canvas bags - until I found myself with three cats in the house. Now I'll deliberately get plastic at the store for cleaning the catbox. At least it's getting re-used...
I keep a half dozen nylon bags with teensy litte stuff sacks in my purse or backpack. They hold more than the cheap plastic ones, are sturdier and easier for dog and I to carry.
The occasional plastic one we get ends up being re-used to pick up dog poop.
The ubiquitious, over-sized, impossible-to-open, warehouse-filling, landfill-clogging, clamshell packaging is one of my pet peeves.
Why not take the money wasted on creating and disposing of it to hire more retail staff?

I must admit, sometimes I can't avoid using plastics, I am guilty of that but as much as I can I always find ways to dispose them properly.....

It seems the only reason unemployment numbers have improved is that more people are on someone's payroll as spammers these days. Sigh.
For some reason, a lot of blog spam seems to be coming from Manila. Evidently they are learning from their co-conspirators in India.
You mean this isn't even helping our economy? Now I'm really mad.
