    Default Are reusable bags doing the good we think they are?

    As we accumulate more reusable bags, many of them go unused. Reusable bags are creating their own environmental problems. What’s the answer?

    I agree with you. How many of us actually go for recycling or using the reusable bags or papers? Only a few organizations are making efforts which is not helping much.

    They are making a huge difference for me in the number of plastic bags I accumulate. Before I made a 100% commitment to reusable bags, I would end up with scores of plastic bags each month (mainly because the grocery store baggers only put 3-4 items in each bag, so I'd leave the store with at least six bags each time I went to the store (even though I only shop for one).

    I wish the grocery stores would start charging for the use of plastic/paper bags, instead of the 'credit' or donation they give for reusable bags. The stores would save money, and the planet would be better off.
