Curious when the use of the bags started, apparently retail stores began using plastic bags in 1974, and according to Wall Street Journal the U.S. now goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags a year!
When I look at the reusable bags people are using at the store, they are pretty beat up! Not sure I would be that consistent in frequent cleaning either! Which is why I liked the convenience of plastic bags, which can be recycled after use. KTA usually has a supply of empty cardboard boxes, I just use those for groceries! Also keep empty cardboard boxes in the trunk for future use!
