I’m glad that we switched to recyclable plastics a while back. Imagine how fucked things would be if we didn’t

I think with plastics the situation is not that great because of the complexities in processing

It’s worse, because we were sold a direct lie of “save the trees, choose plastic” in the 90s.

I'm becoming a big fan of literal t-shirt bags. Cut the sleeves off, sew the shoulders so they don't fray, sew the torso opening, do something with the neck hole if needed. It's maybe 5 minutes of work and 50 cents at the local donation store. Now you have a cool, fairly customized bag you can make from various sizes.

Compact, washable, light-weight, strong and cheap.
