Either way, I'm not loading landfills with the traditional plastic bags that are slowly killing us all.tommymtcom wrote:Guilty.cutuphalfdead wrote:You guys probably use plastic bags at the grocery store too.
Last time I was in England I was amazed to see that everyone brings their own bags to the grocery store (usually canvas, but sometimes just thick plastic). If you needed to use their bags they would charge you 5p for each one.
