Among Friends

Plastic bags have been banned from my county and soon the ban will go statewide.  I hated it in the beginning, but now I'm used to it and feel I'm doing something good for the environment.

I keep all of mine.  I put them in the bottom of small trash cans throughout my house and then one by one I line the can.  When I toss our "whatever" then I can easily remove it and put in my big dumpster trash can.  I find it neater and easier to clean out and take away.  I would not be a happy camper if they are banned.  I use mine and they make my life easier.

Adding one more thing.  I take my bags on trips just in case I need them to save  all kinds of liquids.  I am not in the mood to wipe out leaked items.  And I also use them to wrap clothets that need cleaning, or divide some like items from others.  In other words I USE THEM, I NEED THEM and have just about had it with someone telling me what I can do and not do.  First straws and then this.  Trust me I USE MINE.  I DON'T CONTAMINATE THE ENVIRONMENT.  And if the US follows all the rules and saves the world what are all the other countries doing.  See how steamed up I can get.

I store plastic bags but I don't have too many anymore. I stared to buy the grocery thermal totes for the store. I have quite a few sizes depending on my list. 

I use the plastic bags I have as trash can liners just to save some $ with my budget. 

I did have a large collection until I started to use the grocery totes. That really eliminated the quantity of bags I was receiving. Once I did that then I gathered up most of the bags and discarded them.

I save a moderate amount, but not enough to create a storage issue.   We use them to dispose of my husbands wound dressings, vegetable peelings, cantaloupe and watermelon rinds, and any food that goes out on garbage day.   

I don’t save bags that could have been contaminated from meat/chicken, melted ice cream, dirty fruits/vegetables like cantaloupe.

I use them to line my small trash cans.

Charity thrift stores take them for wrapping purchases

I keep them in my car for when I walk on the beach and clean up coffee cups, plastics, etc They're going to be banned where I live, so I'll have to come up with some other method. Maybe a basket?

[colliemom4]

Yes. We use them frequently.
