Do you wash or throw your eco-bag?

Eco bags

I do not throw the eco bag unless already looks ugly . I am washing them after using them. Prices of commodities are getting higher and we need to save every single penny. Money does not fly to our wallets, we need to sweat out. It is also very easy to wash them. For many years now, using cellophane in shopping was banned. It causes clogging in the canals. There are homeowners who lack manners. they just throw the cellophane anywhere and when the flood comes, they clogged the exits of the flood causing flood. The replacements are paper bags and eco bags. But if buy meat, fish, canned goods, paper bags cannot hold themthe items surely fall on the floor.LOL. What about you, do you keep or threw your eco-bags? The image shown here is the eco-bags I washed this day.

I use my cloth bags over and over. I wash them all the time, hang them to dry, always. We do not need to be using all of this plastic, enough is enough. We throw way too much stuff away. I'm an advocate for the cloth bags. After I wash and dry them, they go right back in the car for the next trip.

It's great when money flies and comes into our wallets. LOL Yes, I always do the same thing with you, even I always go around with a not too big backpack. Sometimes when shopping I forget to bring my eco bag, I put it in my backpack. Sometimes I just hold it with both hands. Instead of having to spend money to buy another eco bag. How can I save more, right? LOL

I still use the plastic bags my grocery store provides, but then I recycle them; they never go in the trash. Some places have banned them, and eventually my state will ban them too. I'm also totally fine with that. I'll just go buy some eco bags whenever my state decides plastic bags should no longer be allowed.

@cacay1 Yes, I have heard that in some places it is dire that plastic not be used. I don't buy plastic bags, I would never spend money on plastic bags. Spending money on a plastic bag would make no sense when a cloth bag lasts much longer. The grocery store uses the plastic bags to put your groceries in; they are FREE. Since they are free, after I have used them, I recycle them so they can never be used to hurt the planet. I am not going to spend money on anything until I have to. When plastic bags are eventually banned, I will then have to buy an eco bag. Until then, I will stick for what is absolutely free. It is unwise for me to spend money when I don't have to, and at the same time, am not hurting the planet.

@AmbiePam, people here caught using plastic bags will land in jail plus penalty that's why we're afraid. And it's also unwise to keep on buying plastic or eco bag.

We do have such bags which we take for grocery shopping. Most of these we keep, but rest we sometimes use and throw. Now we do try to keep the maximum that we can.

@allknowing , there are many toxic people here, frigid, who never care about the environment and mother nature. They just want to satisfy their desires instantly without thinking of the bad consequences of throwing cellphones anywhere especially on the canals.

@cacay1 Plastic bags have been banned more than 10 years ago. The grocery stores offered fabric bags in the beginning and now we can buy one for $ 2. I wash my fabric bags regularly.

@LadyDuck, there are no more plastic bags here, it's banned by the government and whoever is caught doing t will be fine. We use the eco bag or paper bag, but usually, eco bag because the paper bag is not strong.

When I go out, I bring my own cloth bag so that I can put what I bought inside. But if it is delivered groceries, they will be packed in plastic bags and usually I will use them as the garbage bags.
