Fact
It takes 1000 years for plastic bags to break down. When they do breaks down, toxic substances leach into the soil and enter the food chain

I do use plastic bags but I than used them to line my 3 garbage cans under my kitchen sinks. They fit perfectly for plastic recycling; paper recyling; and regular trash.
ReplyDeleteAnd than I don't have to buy garbage bags for these garbage cans..

I only use cloth bags. I love not having all the plastic bags sitting around the house!

I'm guilty of still using plastic. I never remember to take cloth ones with me.

I have changed almost 100% to non-plastic bags. The only time I find I use plastic is when I buy more than the bags I have or it is unexpected....BUT I now have bags in my purse and in my car.

ReplyDeleteI mostly use cloth bags. I do still use plastic bags to line my bathroom trash can, so about once every two months I get a few from Wal-Mart or wherever.

We've been using cloth bags for a few years now!
ReplyDeleteI use both, but that little canvas number up there would definitely persuade me to stop using plastic bags at all. :)

I am using cloth bags about 80% of the time. I am having a difficult time remebering to bring them into stores other than grocery stores...i.e. Canadian Tire, shoppers, thrift stores, etc.

ReplyDeleteI am doing better. I empty my bags and hang them on the door so I have to take them to my car. Once in the car, I do try-with ice, snow, sleet in the past two weeks-I admit that I forgot the bags and brought home plastic. I used the plastic to dispose of doggie-doo. I re-cycled!!!

ReplyDeleteWe have 4 people in our family and each of our cars have 4-5 reusable bags in them. Our problem is remembering to bring them into the store. We're better about it now as the guilt of using plastic helps us to remember.

I still use plastic bags now and then, mainly so I have something to use for my small garbage.

I'm about 75% converted. I have the reusables and usually remember them, but sometimes after unpacking I don't get them back to the car in time for the next shopping trip & I leave them behind. I'm always mad at myself when I forget, though!!
