    I would love to turn away single-use plastics in nearly everyday life (except Healthcare related stuff).

    I love that we're replacing plastic bags with plastic bags, seems like a good choice. Positive step forward.

    There's a flavored water that I love and I think about this every time I buy a bottle of it. I recycle them all but I know that only does so much.

    My mom and all the other old Hispanic ladies in northern NJ and NYC seem to use reusable bags for groceries. For whatever that's worth.

    They aren't good either.

    This is literally soda/beer companies pushing recycling and switching from glass to aluminum all over again.

    Replacing plastic with worse plastic is a bad idea. We should be switching to paper bags or something else, maybe cardboard or some type of fabric or linen.

    If people were switching to cotton totes it would be great, but they are switching to a thicker, more plasticy bag that requires more fossil fuels and leaves a bigger carbon footprint that takes many times the years longer to degrade and must be used hundreds of times before they outweigh single use.

    Cotton totes have a huge environmental impact too. Cotton is a bitch to grow and harvest.

    That said, everyone already has fucking bags so just use whatever you have.

    Yeah everything sucks basically.

    Costco and aldi basically say fuck you and don't use anything and that's where the majority of our shopping has always been.

    Been hoarding trader Joe's paper bags forever though.

    Yeah that's the point, using something recyclable instead of replacing plastic bags with plastic bags.

    Sweden’s been trying to solve the plastic issue by making plastic more expensive, thus encouraging people to use other things, as well as encouraging companies to recycle them. A single-use plastic bag at a grocery store costs about 0.75 usd to purchase, and a paper bag costs 0.3 to purchase.

    It’s cut plastic bag consumption by more than half, so it’s certainly helped.
