Do you keep the paper bags or plastic bags you got during shopping?

I like to use paper bages when shopping and also advocate using paper bags. I usually take a cloth shopping bag with me when go shopping. If everybody do it like that, our envirenment will be futher improved.

Well, here you can`t use just any bag for trash disposal but it has to be an specific kind of bag, so I can`t use them for that. However, they`re always useful to carry stuff, so I tend to keep the plastic bags I get when I buy something so I can use them again instead of throwing they away

I keep them most of the time. I put the plastic ones in the bathroom trashcans. We do not get paper bags that often when we shop, so I really don't have a whole lot of those around the house, but I really don't have any need for them the way I do for the plastic bags, so it is not really a big deal...

Yes, same thing that you do. All plastic bags are kept to be use for garbage disposals. At least it is useful for something else. In other country you get paid for those. I saw a video at youtube where you get paid for cardboxes. Then they recycle it. I think that will help not only the environment but encourage people to recycle.

yes, we do keep paper/plastic bags. Just like you, the not so nice plastic bags are used as garbage container. Sometimes mother will bring plastic bags to market and recycle it as a container for the fish they're selling. In this way, she save money from buying new plastic bag, minimize waste and have our own little way of helping save the environment =)

Yes, totallyundecided, I also keep paper bags or plastic bags after shopping. It do help us to have more container for disposal or carrying items. But let's say for example, I got the paper bag or shopping bag from a travel, I keep it as a remembrance. :) Have you tried that?

I have cheap cloth bags that I usually take with me so I don't have so many of those little plastic bags around. When I get too many I either find a store here that recycles them or I use them for different things. I clean my car, I use a plastic bag. I clean different rooms in the house, I try to fill up one bag for each room, either garbage or stuff to give away, I write who the stuff is for or where it is going with a permanent marker. I quit getting paper bags unless someone needs them for book covers for school, then I get a few and give them to who ever needs them.

I usually save all the plastic bags i get from shopping and use them for trash bags or something else, why are we going to throw away something we can reuse right?

I keep the paper bags and plastic bags during shopping. It shouldn't be just for the one time convenient and we just throwing it away. Disposing the rubbish especially the plastic bags has causing many issues on the environment problem. So, I seldom use plastic bags right now,I won't ask for a plastic bags unless it really necessary. If things that I bought are tiny, I can just put inside my pocket or my bag of course with the receipt or we can use ecobags to keep the stuff. There is lots of anti plastic bag program in my country, during weekend most of the shopping complex they won't provide plastic bag for the customers. I think it is great, we should more concern about the environmental problem right now.

I always keep all the bags, whether they are paper or plastic. We usually use the plastic ones for re-use in the rubbish bins and the paper ones for the recycling rubbish, these ones are the best! :)

Use Both plastic and paper. when i'm done taking the groceries out the plastic bags are used as garbage bags. and the paper bags are used as yard work bags to gather leaves and sticks and what not. sometimes i bring plastic and paper bags to the grocery store with me, but i dont use those reusable eco bags, i don't think its sanitery to use them over and over again on grocery shopping trips i dont think compromising my families health is eco, so i minimize how many plastic and paper bags i use and be sure to reuse them.

I prefer paper bags. but here in Pakistan mostly shopping center don't have paper bags so at that time we have to adjust with plastic bags.. but in India government start new legislation that all shopping center use paper bags instead of plastic bags. i think every country should adopt this. its really great

i always trow them away after unpacking

I'm a collector of Nice paper and plastic bags too.. Whenever i'm out shopping, I will be sure to keep a lookout for those nice bags that come together with my stuff. I have lotsa of them at home right now but I dun really wanna use them as I don't want to dirty them. When it comes to plastic bags, it all depends on what I'm gonna use for.. If possible, I will use the plastic bag to shop because plastic is not recycable, can't be burned etc..

i do keep them. we could still use it in the future, so i just set it aside where i could easily get it especially when i am in a rush to go elsewhere. as for the plastic, i use them again for garbage, instead of buying a trashbag, i use them instead

mostly i take jute or cloth bags whenever i go for shopping and yes i keep the bags i get from shopping may be of plastic or paper....i keep them for later use ...

We keep both paper and plastic bags.We use the paper ones for empty pop cans and pop bottles to return to the store.The plastic ones are good for small trash can liners.

From the perspective of environment protection, paper bags or cloth bags may be a better choice. It is obvious that using plastic bags will do harm to our environment. So, when we realize of the importance of environment protection, more and more choose paper bags or cloth bags. Of course, for me, I tend to go shopping online, which is a better choice indeed because I don't use any type of bags. Happy myLotting, friends.

yes, definitely! we reuse the boxes, paper bags and plastic bags when we go shopping or to the grocery. Actually we have a closet for those things. we also use the not so presentable ones for garbage disposal...:D its a good thing to recyle!.. go green!.. :D

i usually do that. paper bags are convenient to use and sometimes i keep them because of its design .heheh .. for the plastic bags . i usually use those for garbage disposals.
