8 Best Sustainable Reusable Bags Made of Natural Fibers

And when the current vehicle is a Honda, that could be a loooong time.
But hey, maybe any remaining questions of EV reliability, battery replacement costs, or end-of-life handling will be resolved! THEN I can look at an EV!
The whole point of this post is to promote a page that's filled with Amazon affiliate links. Booo.
Plastic bags will always be ideal for groceries. No way around that.
Nice try, plastic company.
Depends on the plastic bag. They do take a lot less energy and resources to make, and can potentially last an insane amount of time. So a good quality plastic bag that will last is a great choice. Cheap crap that's made to be thrown away is always a bad choice.
What does that even mean? Lol you shill.
Don't be upset
Im not upset. Confused by your statement though.
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.
Your “common knowledge” is wrong.
Thanks for offering your personal opinion on the matter

Just a reminder that the most sustainable bags are the ones that have already been made rather than buying new ones. Lots of places will give these kinds of bags out, I got my primary bag at a hockey game years ago, and my secondary ones were gifts from my mothers job.
It’s the same principle that it’s better for the environment to drive your current vehicle rather than get a new one, even if the new one is a hybrid or electric.
