What's confusing about it? Plastic is the lightest, most durable, most cost effective material for grocery bags. In the western world they are disposed of in state of the art landfills and every bag you use in your life will be less waste than the last mattress or couch you threw out.

What a troll argument. Plastic bags take many years to break down in landfills. They are also often times single use, therefore there are many of them going into landfills. Any sort of cotton tote bag will last years and then breakdown in the trash practically immediately. Boo on your bs.

Breaking down in the landfill is irrelevant to their function as a grocery bag.

And besides, nothing in the landfill needs to break down. Most of it will not and that's perfectly fine.

Again, please don't be upset. I'm only sharing common knowledge.
