    The proper way to do this was get like nice cloth bags that cost much more maybe like $10 or something so people actually get the message

      Maybe but those $10 bags are so expensive that you’ll never be able to use them enough to be worth it. At least with a 10¢ plastic bag I’m invented to reuse it plus only a few uses is already better for the environment (they are a lot thicker than the older disposable plastic bags but I don’t know how to quantify that)

        Let’s say you buy groceries every week of the year. That’s $10/52 = $0.19. If you use this for 2 years then it will be less than a 10 cent bag.

        Now let’s say your a wasteful person, and actually spend $10 every single trip, you’re gonna be tossing a cloth bag, which isn’t as bad as plastic.
