I got to get back in the habit in using reusable shopping bags once again. There was a time I always used them, then the ones I had kind of wore out or got dirty to the point where they couldn’t clean them well. At the same time, Shoprite did away with the discount for reusable bags, and Walmart never have one.

Moreover, in the summer months while camping, I like having a good supply of disposable shopping bags. I use them for carrying camping goods and for trash bags, because normally at camp I burn the burnable trash daily so I’m not carrying around trash that attracts animals. But that’s not an excuse in the winter, because I’m just ending up with a lot of waste, that while recycled, still wastes resources.
