3 Reasons to Ditch Traditional Plastic Garbage Bags

[Native]

25. I've read that these bags don't break down in landfills, so I use the paper grocery bags I get at the grocery store, &

once I've accumulated a decent supply, I switch to bringing my own bags until I run low on the paper bags. The paper grocery bags fit nicely into a small rectangular shaped plastic bin. I don't have to worry about odors because we also compost almost all of our food waste. Our large county supplied garbage bins rarely get stinky because little to no food is disposed of. Our trash is picked up twice a week, and we generate only one small bag or two of trash each week. Also, whenever I'm shopping at stores that don't have paper bags (department stores, etc.), I tell them I don't need a bag. And even if I've got several bags worth of stuff, I simply take it out to my car (where I have bags) in the shopping cart and bag them carside. Beats walking around with large bags when you're trying to shop.
