[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many times does a reusable bag need to be used to offset the environmental impact to produce it? I’m genuinely asking to learn, not trying to be snarky. [/quote]

Depends on the bag, I’m sure.   I’ve had a set of these for 15 years, no joke.  They still look new.   I’m sure they’ve offset any initial impact of their production.  And they’re easily washed in the washing machine, so no germ concerns.

https://www.urbanmarketbags.com/[/quote]these bags look awful. They are $10. The sides collapse.  The grocery store has bags with stiffer sides and are selling them at a discount for the new year.  They hold tons of items and the sides stay up.  They made loading the car a breeze even compared to the old free plastic bags which always collapsed and spilled over on the drive home. [/quote]

They’re shaped like the plastic bags they replace.  They don’t need to be stiff.  They hold a ton of heavy-weighted things.  They are easy to wash, unlike those stiff-sided bags. Mine have lasted years and still look new.  Cashiers always comment on how nice they look and how clean they are, especially compared to those reusable bags other people bring in.   Plus they fold up small and fit in my purse so I never forget them.   Plus they last for years.  Like I said, I’ve had mine for 15 years, use them weekly, and they’re still great.  [/quote]
