Anecdotally, it has curbed my own use. At first I was a little irritated but quickly realized that the collection of bags at home was an overwhelming waste when 80% of the time I was only carrying 2-3 items, which I can easily hand carry.
It was a pet peeve of mine to watch people put a small item in a bag, wrap the whole thing and hand carry it.
Nice!
Ten years ago I bought a pack of four canvas shopping bags off of Amazon, and I've used them ever since. They're fantastic. I have one with a small tear that I will sew back up by hand, but by and large they're awesome quality.
I’ve saw a lot of embroidery patching in Pinterest I definitely plan to use in my tote bags. It just adds more love to them:)
Yeah, it's really surprising how easy it is to do a large percentage of your shopping without bags. For larger shopping trips you will need something of course, but for the way most urban residents live, you dive into a store for five things at a time and usually end up with some kind of bag or box along the way, so just "winging it" works more often than not.
That's what I always think as I walk in, but as I start juggling more and more, I usually have to pull out the ripstop tote that's always folded into my small purse. And sometimes add a paper bag if it gets to be too much
I'm glad to be rid of the jellyfish bags, even though I now need separate "compostable" pet bags that aren't really compostable.
