For those who don’t want or can’t afford the reusable bag, I wonder if they will replace the plastic bag with the paper bag? After all, the paper bag is biodegradable.

1. The plastic bags are great for use as a trash can liner.

2. Reusable bags are not expensive. They can be had for $1.00. That's not a deal breaker.

3. I had a point three but I forgot it...

Sorry, too late to be up typing.

Plastic bags for smaller trash cans, and paper bags for kitchen trash.
Also use them all the time for hauling stuff to relatives, etc.

Plastic bags carried by all (most...)dog-walkers - - -

Advise taking a moment to cut plastic bag handles when finally tossing (empty), and even when recycling.
About 5 years ago I saw a seagull flying and dragging a plastic bag near me as I was driving, 10 miles inland. The bag kept billowing with air.
Don’t have a clue how that all ended.

Any over abundance of paper bags, and they go with the newspapers for recycling here.

Far as I’m concerned, both types of bags are highly (re)useful.

Then we can talk about how to re-use/re-cycle the narrow plastic bags that enclose the daily newspaper - - - !

LOL! I know what you mean, and appreciate your points.

I was being facetious.

My point is that it is a vicious cycle with environmentalists.

One day, the paper bag is very cool, and the next day it’s not. In comes the plastic bag.

Wait 10 years, and the paper bag is cool again, and the plastic bag is not.

It’s all stupid...
