For some reason I seem to regularly forget to put my canvas bags back in my car for next time so my solution is to by new bags whenever I go shopping and it really seems to help me remember to put the bags back in my car because it is fresh in my mind that once again I forgot.
I know some shops are now charging a smal amount per plastic bag, but if they up that price then fewer people will take the "easy option" of adding a few pence to their shopping bill. Raising the price of plastic and lowering the price of canvas and jute bags combined will make taking the environmentally ethical option so much more appealing to those who don't already do it. After that, it would be far easier to phase out plastic bags all together.
we should ban plastic bags at the source itself, only then everyone will look for other alternative

My New Year's Resolution was to use my fabric bags everywhere. So far so good. My 12yr old took most of what I had for plastic bags to school to recycle.
Hello all! I am so encouraged to see so many dedicated people trying to do something about our plastic obsession! My organization Oceanic Defense educates people on the impact we have on the oceans by using plastic shopping bags and buying bottled water among many other nonessential items we use on a daily basis. Feel free to come by for a visit and help me educate the public about our plastic problem.

drop plastic bag where ....?lets not drop the plastic bags lets ban it.Then only we can make environment better n good to live in for us n for other creatures.
When I forget my reusable bags, I opt for paper bags. These are recycled with other paper products. Our household waste stream is further reduced by composting our kitchen wastes in a worm composting bin. I just wish Waste Management would get out of the landfill business and further and deeper into recycling waste.
In the south of Ireland they only issue paper bags and if you want a plastic one you have to pay for it. All we need is Stormont to enforce it here in the north :)
I purchased ripstop nylon bags from www.baggubag.com. They fold up into my purse so I never leave home without them and I don't get plastic OR paper. I have been using them for about 9 months and love them!
I do support using paper rather than plastic. I think we should step back, also, and question the whole approach to packaging of foods. I have often wondered why I can't have re-usable containers that I own for procuring the foodstuffs at supermarkets. The problem is with the hygienic sealing, but perhaps research should be started in this direction.

Just got back from a long-distance holiday and saved TWELVE PLASTIC CUPS (round trip) simply by bringing my own solid plastic cup from home onto the plane with me. I like drinking from it better, I get served more of my choice of beverage, AND the amount of trash generated by the airline is reduced. Just think how many plastic cups we could save if just the members of this group did this on all their flights.
