Most of my plastic bags used to get thrown away. Then I read some of the disturbing facts in The World Without Us about plastics in the ocean. How they break down into tiny particles, surviving for endless time scales, being eaten by millions of animals. Quadrillions of particles. Plastic bags are a big part of this problem. Now I recycle them and often tell the store when I don't really need them. No, I don't have any reusable bags yet. Learn more at PlasticBagRecycling.org and discover there is a demand for your used bags. And the less you use at stores reduces their costs (and yours). -D
