I love the fact that the reason we switched from paper to plastic in the first place was to "save the trees". Now we're talking about switching back, smh
I don't mind paying for paper bags. I have reusable fiber bags for my groceries, and I purposefully get a paperbag every now and then so I can take out diapers and garbage and recycling in a bag that is biodegradable. I don't think I'm saving the environment, but I don't like seeing plastic waste in the local forests and don't want to contribute.
I tend to use them for the bread I make. The loaves wind up kind of large for regular bread bags. And bread bags I use for dogshit bags anyway.
What gets me is that I don't see them offering the old-school paper bags in replacement, now that we have the paper recycling we supposedly didn't in the 1970s.
And they really need to stop picking on people with backpacks. It's easier to sneak something into one of those hand-held monkey bags than it is to put something in a bag that's on my back and zippered shut, ffs. If I really wanted to shoplift, the last thing I'd be using is a freakin' backpack (I'd just go out with the whole goddamn cart.)
used to use grocery bags for small trash bags and for the cat litter, now i have to actually buy single-use bags for that purpose.
much environment.

tbh the main reason grocery stores are switching to paper bags is so they can bill you for them

Yeah the 1st thing I did after the plastic bag ban was buy like 1000 plastic bags on amazon.
Been hoarding mine.
