MODERATORS
Years ago, i started reusing those older, heavier plastic bags, instead of getting new ones of those thin compostable bags that you usually see now.
This is 8 or 10 years ago now, i still have some of those and reuse them for my shopping now. Single use my bum!
Problem i sometimes have with buying reusables is, are we actually getting into negative waste territory when we conduct these practices. Generally reusable mesh bags will be more polluting to produce, so if they are lost, or broken sooner than they cross that threshold, the whole activity has ended up being a net negative.
You see the same issue with lots of reusable things of course, as i'm sure people are well aware of.
