Are you taking up a collection or just a random survey?I still have some one use plastic bags left, they are easy to keep in a pocket when going shopping. I was wondering if anyone else still had some left from saving them up when they were legal, or if you used them all up.
I'd bought a set of these and liked them, for the most part. I liked their strong ripstop material, however two drawbacks - I found them to be on the small size and they don't hold their shape at all, so some grocery escapage would occur in the car.Nope. I stopped using plastic/paper bags years ago. I use these, can roll up one into a pocket or carry the whole pod in for a bigger shopping trip. They can be washed & dried & are extremely strong.
They suck for picking up dog poop. At least half of them have some sort or tear, hole or rip in them. Plus- dog poop bags are pretty damn cheap.Friends ask for bags when we are in Florida - they are used to pickup dog poop.
My wife would slice my hands off if I ever tried to like a garbage can with a shopping bag.Do those of you who are in the banned areas use any “lining” in a small garbage container you may have in a bathroom, 1/2 bath, etc.
Those little grocery bags fit perfectly in them and I glad the bags haven’t been banned where I am.

I stopped using them when I left the storage bag, with 8 of the 10 bags still in it, carabinered to the cart I'd been using. DOH! 🤦🏼♂️

HaI bought a bunch off of ebay. If I need to take one into a store I drop a one in the parking lot in protest of the stupid law. FREEDOM!
No I still use the get to the cash register and “Oh Fvck, I forgot the bags again” method.I still have some one use plastic bags left, they are easy to keep in a pocket when going shopping.

Random survey. I want to be the last one in NJ to have some one use bags left :-)Are you taking up a collection or just a random survey?
If I see one in the parking lot I pick it up, inspect it and if it passes my inspection I keep it lol.I bought a bunch off of ebay. If I need to take one into a store I drop a one in the parking lot in protest of the stupid law. FREEDOM!

I did go back to the store to look, but alas... was too late.I knot them if it's stuff that can easily slide out. I left my pod on a cart once, realize it when I got home fortunately when I went back to ShopRite it was still there on the cart
Easy to buy:I buy the plastic bags on Amazon. I need cheap plastic bags to tote cat litter into the garbage can on litterbox cleanout day.
The state government is a bunch of stupid people doing stupid things (and avoiding important issues since those are hard).I had forgotten you guys had them banned. I don't know how you all put up with your state government.
Take you maybe 30 seconds, if you're a slow typist and reader, to do a web search on dumbest laws ever and figure out just how far off you are with that statement. Or skip the web search and just think about it for a half-second or two.Dumbest law ever.
….there are no problematic unintended consequences at all. …
My reuse bags have no plastic, are much larger than the single use plastic bags, and have held up great to years of food shopping. I went from using tons of those plastic bags (which I saved for reuse, but rarely actually reused) to using almost none. My other plastic use stayed the same.I am not so sure that is true.
The “re-use” bags involve far more plastic than the tiny one-use bags (which I personally re-used)
And I think the very prevalent public resentment and cynicism over these laws (due to their questionable benefits) is absolutely problematic
These laws are the equivalent of crying wolf
As I said above - they are “feel good” laws intended to make the lawmakers (and certainly some members of the public) feel good about themselves that they “made a difference” when really it is very questionable if there is any environmental benefit at all (or at a minimum NUMEROUS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT things that should be done to help the environment)
And I say the above - not from a Trumpy/ MAGA perspective- but from a quite different point of view. These laws don’t do a damn thing - and as someone who does favor IMPACTFUL environmental regulation I think they do more harm than good in the end
