In my hometown of Salem Oregon they recently banned plastic grocery bags.(that's good) you now have a choice of bringing your own or purchasing paper bags(that's not good) for 5 cents. We will soon be banning all plastic bags but if you don't bring your own you can purchase their reusable even thicker plastic shopping bags at Wal-Mart they are only 50 cents and their STILL plastic My bags are NOT PLASTIC! My bags are very sturdy, reusable, and can hold up to 20 lbs. My bags are mostly made of cotton. After many uses and and washes in the laundry when they are not as pretty as they were at first they can still be used. you can use them as a dishrag or for dusting or cleaning etc. Thank.
