When you shop, do you prefer to have your goods packed to go into a paper bag, a plastic bag, or some other option?
Some places let you take their bulk packages, especially if it’s already empty or you’re buying everything in it anyway. Those reusable shopping bags have become extremely common. I can’t remember the first time that i was given the option. How confounding it must have been. Now i mostly use the reusable bags. Partly for reduce, reuse, recycle reasons, but also because i can choose bags that speak to me or about me. Occasionally i’ll forget my bags and have to get a store bag. I typically go with paper at that point.
How about you? Paper, plastic or other? What’s your preference and why?
