Reusable bags are incredibly ironic. One of my roommates | ||
orders a lot of delivery food and groceries. Included | ||
with that order is at minimum one reusable bag. We have an | ||
entire box of reusable bags now, and I don't think we'll | ||
ever want for a bag again. At this point, the only thing | ||
to do with the bags is to throw them away. Like clothing, | ||
they're not really compostable, nor are they really going | ||
to be recycled. They'll just end up in a landfill somewhere, | ||
get shipped off to another country, and be burned. Oh, | ||
and they'll produce more emissions than a plastic bag ever | ||
would. But at least they're not killing the turtles, right? | ||
|
||
The thing that kills me is that these bags are meant to | ||
reduce waste by being strong enough to reuse. This was also | ||
the motivation behind the invention of the plastic bag. | ||
Somehow, that lesson wasn't learned the first time. |
