The average adult uses 10 single-use plastic carrier bags every year. Although plastic carrier bags may be recycled at larger supermarkets, you can easily avoid using this plastic item.
It’s easy to remember your reusable shopping bags when doing the grocery shop, whether you take them with you or keep some in the car. But having a small fold-away bag at your work place or even in your backpack or handbag, can help to avoid those unexpected purchases catching you out. It also saves you some cash by avoiding the carrier bag tax.
