Washing plastic bags (Overig)

*****
I disagree about washing out the plastic bags. How about the value of decreasing the number of bags going to the landfill?

Washing out plastic bags directly decreases the number of bags going to the landfill. If one did not wash them out and reuse them, they would go into the trash and thus into the landfill.

Some bags are more sturdy than others. Sarah and I prefer to use canvas bags for grocery shopping and other situations where we need to carry several items.

For home use, I prefer to use bowls most of the time. In situations where a bag is called for, we try to use freezer bags, which stand up to a lot of uses and can be washed and used again if needed.

We don’t throw out many bags. I view each bag thrown out as a loss of money.
