I switched to reusable shopping bags along with the rest of Colorado when they enacted a ban this year and honestly prefer them now. Once you get in the habit of bringing them to stores it’s easy.

    More than 9/10 times, it’s not recyclable.

    Literally less than 10% all of the plastic in the history of plastic has been recycled.

      And the 10% that is, probably shouldn’t be. The recycling process releases massive quantities of micro-plastics into our waterways, and from there into our soil, and so into our food.

      Well if you want to go back to the original defnitions esp. In paris during the rennaissance then that’s fine by me.
