plastic corpos really fucked us by passing the burden on to us to recycle their garbage, but why should i if they’re manufacturing plastic bags either way? (to clarify, this is out of curiosity. i LOATHE plastic anything in my home & try to minimize is as much as possible)
Retailers order more plastic bags when their inventories fall below a certain level. If you reuse a bag, their inventories will last longer and they will order bags less frequently; and manufacturers will reduce production due to the decreased demand.
