There is no excuse for using plastic bags now, they split and dig into your fingers which for me is no more.
And yes they are causing harm to the environment. |
I reuse my plastic bags for many things around the home. I sometimes use them to hold parts that won't fit in my briefcase to using them to hold garbage during collection around the house (saves a lot of effort) and for the most part, they are somewhat water proof and air proof so I usually don't throw them out when I get home from the grocery store.
I bet if you analyzed the waste from plastic bags, you wouldn't find almost 0 measurable land fill use due to how thin a material they are. Just my thoughts.
