The Plastic Bag Problem: 25 Resources to Reduce, Recycle, and Reuse

My county only started recycling in the last 2 years and they only collect certain items such as plastic bottles 1 & 2, grocery bags, glass, cardboard, junk mail, and newspapers. We have to haul it ourselves. They do not come and pick up. But many of us make the effort to do this.

Personally I prefer to not use plastic grocery bags at all. I'll ask for a sticker on my merchandise if I forget my canvas bags. If I accept one I will recycle it or take it back to my grocery store's recycling bin.

Everyone should make the effort to recycle, reuse, or reduce their use of plastic grocery bags.
