The difference between European countries and America is becoming so stark. Anyone reading or watching global news has to see how backwards this country is and that it’s only getting worse.
Who throws out reusable bags after 5? I’ve had the same set of cloth bags for like 15 years!
Statically the majority. Supermarkets are selling a bag per about 100 in purchases. From that you can deduce that the majority of people are only using them a few times.
UK supermarkets sold 1.5 billion reusable bags in 2019. That is 57 per household per year.

It’s worse… sometimes you forget your bag or go to buy something unplanned. And after a decade you have more reusable bags at home than you will ever be able to use up in your life.
