Step in the right direction!
I disagree. They stop giving bags but they still sell boxes of bags. They're just bags- they carry your next groceries, your lunch, dog poop, bathroom trash, the junk in your car, cat litter, ... Why do we ban bags and then buy more bags?
Because it means people use a lot fewer, which means a lot less plastic blowing into waterways
🤷 We donate the good ones to the food bank and use the thin ones around the house. Trying to reuse more and buy less. Also, trash bags have become crazy expensive!!
