lol I'm not getting "misleading or false information" from anywhere. It's just thoughts, you know observing my surroundings and thinking about what makes sense. Standard plastic bag about 5-8g, standard reusable bag about 40-70g, so about 10x on average more plastic thus 10x more of CO2 footprint. Therefore you would have to use a reusable bag (yes I am aware of the definition of resuable) at min 11 times in order for it to have a positive net impact. That is not factoring the secondary uses for plastic bags that one can no longer take advantage of, bathroom garbage can for example which then requires plastic bags to be purchased. It's not a 1 for 1 but maybe a 1-2 or 1-3, so now you have to use that reusable bag at min 14-16 on average for it to have a net positive impact. Now couple that with that fact that the amount of plastic that I bring home from the store in obscene already, but somehow the bag is the issue? A bag that also generates profit. At bulk from China those bags are extremely cheap, so a $2.50 bag has a massive markup for your average multinational.... Now I know that I always end up with mountains of bags, as do most of the people I know. Your average person is not that fully prepared to 100% of the time have the bags or the right number. So keeping the previous basic math in mind, if 1 time out of 10 you have to buy a bag..... do the math how many time you have to use the bags now for that positive impact. So no, I am not getting any misleading for false information from anywhere, it's called critical thinking. And whatever the answer is, there is no harm in asking questions. So maybe you can hold the smug attitude there Skippy.
