"plastic bags decompose -- a process which may take as long as 10,000 years."
Uh, ever left one out in the sun? Takes only weeks to start to fall apart.
However, I do think it's better to reuse sturdy bags than to discard flimsy ones.
I did crochet a tote from plastic grocery bags, and it's held up well for about 4 years. Cut LOTS of bags into rings, loop the rings together into a long "yarn", and crochet with the largest hook you can find.
