I use the plastic grocery bags daily to scoop my cats' litter boxes into. I also take 2 plastic grocery bags with me on dog walks. He is often a 2 poop a walk dog, so I re-use a LOT of plastic grocery bags. A tiny sandwich bag definitely would NOT cut it...he's 100 pounds, so his poopsie are rather large.... I also line my bathroom garbage cans with plastic grocery bags.
I use the paper grocery bags to hold my recyclable cans and bottles.
How am I supposed to scoop my cat litter? Cannot put it in the toilet bowl with scoopable litter (clog it), never mind I would have to carry it from one room to another. Don't DROP it!!!!! lol
Walk them on a leash outside? POTTY train them?????

I had a friend years ago who had 7 large black cats. I thought, whoaaa, this must be a huge challenge to keep up with their litter box! I paled at the thought.
Then I discovered that she had trained her cats to use the toilet. And to flush!
No joke, she was one of the most amazing women I've ever known.

Ohmigard, how did people ever survive in the days before throwaway plastic garbage bags? It must have been absolutely brutal in those days!

Well, I had a housecat growing up, and I know my parents did not scoop daily. Instead, they just threw out the entire full box every few days and refilled with new litter. They also burned all their garbage. My dad still burns all his garbage.
Since I live in the burbs with scoopable cat litter, I will continue to RECYCLE and REUSE my bags.

I reuse cereal bags, bread bags, the plastic bag the sunday paper comes in, chip bags, coffee bags, etc most of the time. Very rare are the days that I don't have at least one of those - on those days, I use a doggy waste bag made out of cornstarch.
I don't get why people have to have liners for bathroom trash cans? I don't really end up with trash much in our bathroom cans though.
I refuse plastic bags at the store all the time - I don't get why people have to have plastic bags really. I made my own bags out of fabric (so I can throw them in the wash) and carry a large tote style purse most of the the time.
I also don't get the bagging of items where the bag makes it harder not easier to carry. I bought a gallon of apple cider yesterday at Walmart and the clerk put it in a plastic bag. The cider had a plastic handle and was room temp so no condensation...

I don't eat cereal, so no cereal bags.
I go through about 1 loaf of bread every 2 weeks.
I don't get any papers.
I don't eat chips.
I buy a big box of 80 Kcups, so no coffee bags.
As far as bathroom trash can liners....women require liners. Women of a certain age have wetter garbage at certain times of the month.
Be the change you want to see in the world. I haven't used plastic garbage bags for a couple years now, instead I use a wooden crate, if it gets dirty I just spray it with water or let the rain do its thing.
As for totes, I believe everyone should be using them, my problem is I sometimes forget mine, in those instances I will use paper bags and recycle them.
