Reuse Plastic Bags and Other Grocery Store Bags

Paper or plastic always seems to be the final big question at the checkout counter. Do I cut down trees or poison the environment with the plastic bags? The choice is simple. Pick which ever you need for your garbage. When I need bags for basic household waste I choose plastic. I also use them to pick up after my dog. When I need bags for recycling I choose paper. The result, I haven't bought any garbage bags in over two years.
