Two NY Senators are trying yet again to get a bill through to BAN plastic bags and charge for paper bags. Seems inevitable like congestion pricing...

Me too. I often just use them as garbage bags instead of buying garbage bags.

I bought 2 reusable bags. I use those as well as reuse my paper shopping bags. I still have not completely weaned myself from all plastic bags. When I buy fresh seafood they put it in a plastic bag to prevent dripping on my veggies and other groceries.

Just refreshed my stash when stopped at supermarket yesterday night.


Haven't bought trash bags in years for kitchen, bathroom and other small waste baskets.

I use them if they come with something like delivery food, otherwise I use canvas bags.

One thing I don’t get is why there isn’t better biodegradeable bags for single use.

I don't use any plastic bags unless it comes with delivery. If I pick-up my food, I'll bring an organic cloth bag or reuse a paper bag. I do buy the clear bags for recycling only because they won't take recycling otherwise. I think this fee is long overdue. I hope it passes.

I too use them as garbage bags as I have never purchased garbage bags in NYC.

Yes, I use them for the same reasons. I even have a “plastic bag dispenser”, which is just a long cloth sleeve with a synched opening at each end, hanging next to the litter box.

I do and always will. If they ban them in NY, I will order them online out of spite and bring them myself.
