Big tough oil men turn into limpwristed traitors who knuckle under when Trump calls to them. Fucking embarrassing.

Nationalize the oil already. Get the foreign corporations and their brain dead lackeys out.

Please don't bring back plastic bags. Seeing those bags stuck way up high in trees always makes me sad. Paper bags are fine.

-Signed, someone who can never fucking remember to bring a reusable bag into the store

This may or may not help you, but what I do is: store my reusable bags with my shoes, so every time I reach for a pair of shoes before I leave the house, I could also grab a bag.

I gotta get the bags into the store instead of leaving them in the car. I don't go into stores enough to make it a habit.

[–] SaturdayMorning@lemmy.ca 1 points 20 hours ago

I hear you. I don't go to stores often either nowadays. Just to get my weekly groceries and every 2-3 weeks, I'd go to Home Hardware or Canadian Tire.

What rapper bags bro? It's cotton bags everywhere. I'd rather have biodegradable plastic

No thanks less microplastics.

Cotton degrades, plastic just keeps getting smaller for a few centuries until it finally breaks down. And most of those bags are just non disposable plastic.

You think'cotton" bags are 100% pure no-plastic cotton? Try burning one and see if there's no plastic.

You can get 100% cotton items, probably even bags if you look hard enough, but you're right, most cotton items are a cotton synthetic blend.
