I don’t like plastic grocery bags. My groceries end up spilled all over the back seat or trunk. Sometimes they split, spilling my stuff on the ground. And they blow all over the city & into my yard. They are in the lakes, streams, & oceans; a hazard to wildlife.

I grew up with paper bags. They stood up in the car & on the kitchen counter. As a kid, there were a thousand uses for a paper bag. Yeah, they had a problem if they got wet. Still, they were far superior to plastic bags. And they come from a renewable resource & they are environmentally friendly, almost melting in the rain.

Some company needs to bring back the paper bags & coat the bottom 1/4 with wax to resist moisture just as a paper cup does.

As long as all the paper bags have handles I am in agreement.

Such as covering one's schoolbooks. Then, you could doodle on them in class.

In our state one must have the option of paper or plastic bags. I always take paper, collect them year round. Two paper bags starts the woodstove. every time.
