Still need plastic bags

Fri., March 15, 2019

I understand the concept behind the so-called “one use bags,” but it also has me confused. Once I’ve brought my groceries home, I keep the bags for household trash and in the warmer weather, I also use them for yard waste. It seems to me that once they’re gone from stores, I’ll have to buy plastic garbage bags. This makes no sense to me. I’m thinking plastic is plastic.
