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 cares about GHG for bags? The goal is to reduce waste, so you should evaluate it based on the amount of materials used.

      Far more material is used in reusable bags and they are thrown out far earlier than it takes to cover the equivalent. Not only is this creating more GHG, it is also creating more tons of waste overall.

      And GHG will kill us far sooner then plastic bags.

        The marginal GHG from a thicker bag is completely and entirely negligible. The waste footprint is outsized given the GHG footprint.
