- I have seen people take new bags each time, whether paper or plastic.
- Even if they take paper bag, they save a whole pile fo them and say that
- they will "recycle" them. Why don't they think of *re-using* them?
- In my experience, a plastic bag and a double-layered paper bag can be
- used up to five or even ten times. What a saving!
