I´ll start making canvas bags for the supermarket.

Sometime ago, not much, plastic bags were forbidden at the supermarkets here. I have a canvas sort of suitcase with wheels where I could put my groceries. That, of course, ended when the COVID started. I began to buy online and they brought my groceries in paper bags. Poor trees, I said. The Amazon forest has shrunk a lot during these last few years. But then I remembered that I had made a couple of canvas bags many years ago to go to the Farmers market. And that I had recycled my jeans by making a couple of very beautiful big handbags. So, I´ll start to recycle myself. And I suggest you start to do the same and give out ideas. The Planet is dying and we are the culprits. During 3 cyberdays here, Chilean vultures bought US$ 368.000.000 Shame!

I remember that I used to recycle old jeans into bags. Maybe we should start recycling seriously again.

@marguicha It would be a good idea. One of the most useful things I make from old twine are these floormats.

It is a good way of recycling and it is easier to carry.

I have the same cart with wheels when I have to walk grocery shopping alone. I have several canvas bags that I sewed because plastic bags are banned from already 5 years here.

Now that plastics are banned here, they discovered another way of destroying the planet. I have a lot of paper bags now.

@marguicha No paper bags either, you have to bring your bags, as we did when we were young. They should have never introduced those plastic bags.

We are quickly ruining what is left of our planet. Wildlife is becoming extinct at a record pace. Everyone must do his/her part to save our planet.
