When you go shopping, do you tend to keep your plastic bags?

I also save my bags from stores. I love to reuse them as garbage bags it saves me money and I waste less too.

I hang on to my plastic bags. They usually end up being used for recycling that doesn't fit into the bin or to take to the grocery store that you have to pay for your bags.

Yes I like to keep my bags, especially the pretty handle bag ones. they always come in handy. I always need bags.

I want to recycle the ones I have by cutting them and making them into beach bags for the kids to use this summer.
I do loom knitting and I found instructions on properly cutting them and how to make them strong.
If I don't use all of the bags, I will place them in the recycle box at the store. There are SO many that are not recycled and they do not breakdown in the landfills.
I have now bought the canvas bags to take with me to the stores and just reuse them for shopping. They are cheap at only a dollar each and I have two different size bags.
It cost more to make a plastic bag. I can't wait until I hit 500 and then I can copy and paste the links that give out that information.
www.reuseablebags.com/facts.php should give you the facts that I am talking about.

Yes, I do keep the plastic bags and paper bags for purposes. I use the bags as a lining for the trash cans. And I use it for packing some things. It is good that we recycle bags. We all know that plastics are non biodegradable. Plastic bag recycling can help us lessen land pollution. Paper bags are made out off trees. Recycling paper bags can save many trees. Recycling can help us maintain the balance of our ecosystem.:0)

Everytime I go grocery shopping, I save the plastic bags. I use it for different purposes, but mainly as a trash bag or a trash can liner. The only ones I would throw away are those that are either torn or wet or dirty.

A neat thing that I used to keep them compact is those plastic bags containers that they sell, where you could put them all in, and just pull one at a time. That is how I make sure that I don't get overrun with plastic bags.

I have a friend who always bring her own cloth bag to do groceries. She never asked for the plastic bags. I wished I can be like her, so green-minded, but I guess recycling the bags is my own way of at least getting the most out of them.

I now use reusable shopping bags all of the time - never accepting paper or plastic bags from retailers. I used to take plastic bags once in a while to clean my cats litter box, but now I use paper or buy the flushable litter.

I save a few for trash and taking my lunch to work. But the rest go in the trash.

As I work at a grocery store I know cashiers hate messing with bags of any kind-LOL But it is part of the job. There are some that bring in their own to put their groceries in and I must say I like that. Not to mention is saves on trash.

Plastic cannot be disposed of as easy as paper.

I like to keep the shopping bags and use them to line the smaller trash cans in the bathrooms and bedrooms.

I do. I keep the bags from walmart or just about any store I go to. I use them for garbage bags or picking up after the dog (if there are no holes). It saves me money on buying garbage bags and it is recycling the bags.:)
