We use lots of canvas bags. I request paper bag if needed and I can. We recycle loads too. In our community almost everything can be recycled- it would be interesting to call the garbage company and find out what they do with the plastics.

Anyway- you can knit tote bags out of plastic grocery bags- they might be sturdier and, well they will last awhile anyway, but you can maybe reuse the plastic in a better way. I might have to try that myself.
