When a bag is starting to look well used, I put it inside another bag so it is used double. I find this extends the use considerably. <br /><br />The figures for reuse of a cotton bag compared with a plastic carrier definitely give food for thought. I now expect articles for patching attractively/strengthening/mending of handles of the cotton bags : )Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855403299773356566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-64641323810796816942012-03-20T23:07:29.532+00:002012-03-20T23:07:29.532+00:00I will try to use more reusable bags now, since I ...I will try to use more reusable bags now, since I already have them. My plastic bags are reused as trash lining or gets recycled. I have a few green bags I bought from Ralphs.

On occasion I'll get plastic bags, usually because I've forgotten to bring the cotton bags in the store. I reuse plastic bags to line trashcans.<br /><br />Our papers are delivered in plastic bags, and I use the blue ones for doggie bags (to put it politely). I've considered trying to knit the clear ones, but haven't tried it yet.<br /><br />xofrancesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-59238880919084741502012-03-20T21:51:22.892+00:002012-03-20T21:51:22.892+00:00I carry reusable bags in the car.

But yesterday I saw someone putting all his shopping into the flimsy bags they give you to separate meat from the other goods, so it's still possible to cheat...<br /><br />I prefer the little foldable bags that tuck into a tiny pocket and go in my handbag. I use stronger cotton bags for my pupils (one bag for the books and equipment for each family) and they last ages.Flosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098894367955345944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-55035814257538293682012-03-20T18:16:41.363+00:002012-03-20T18:16:41.363+00:00French shops do not use plastic bags now.
