Do you use your own reusable grocery bags?

If you haven't noticed plastic bags have been getting a really bad wrap because it's causing a lot of headaches across the world by wasting landfill space and contaminating the oceans. Many local governments are taking an aggressive move to ban these so called plastic bags or even forcing businesses to charge consumers a fee to use the plastic bags.

So how many of you use your own reusable grocery bags? It's still a relatively new movement but my friends have begun using them so I'm curious how many others are. Most stores will sell em for $1 or so or you can get em for free if you take this online quiz.

quiz: Take the test to get your free bags!

i dont, but i do bring bags back to the grocery store sometimes.

i wish i could say i was better about this :(

No I don't, but I have noticed that the grocery store now gives you paper bags unless you ask for plastic. This is a complete 180 from what it used to be. I recycle and thats as far as I am going to go with the grocery bag thing.

i hate plastic bags i think they are the worst thing to ever happen to the world

try to watch this video and see if you will think of plastic as a great thing

I don't but maybe I should look into it.

I hate plastic bags! What's the point, they might as well just dump the groceries all over the back of the Tacoma, because that is where they all end up if they are put in plastic bags. :chair: All our bags we get (paper or plastic) get reused for other things at least once before getting recycled or tossed.

We are switching from regular diapers to ones that are made from natural products and are biodegradeable. We'll see how they work.

i should, but i don't

i do end up keeping most of the plastic bags i get though, just to use whenever.

i also try to tell them i don't need a bag if i'm not getting too many things.

I don't, But I should.
The worst part is I work at a supermarket now...

We offer recyclable bags.
And we also offer an incentive for customers to bring back and reuse there bags
A cent for every plastic bag
and
Two cents for every paper or canvas bag they bring back.

They have some nice brown ones I should by that would match Tess's interior nicely.

Yeah, we offer reusable bags at the grocery store I work at too. Then we give a six cent refund for every bag that they bring in again to reuse, regardless of what kind of bag.

Wow, makes my store really cheap.
But honestly in the area I am in, the people could careless.
They are rich enough to drive there huge gas gusslers, send there kids to private school and Ivy League Schools, and take vactions to the far corners of the planet.
Why the hell do I live in this area, I can't do any of that....
