All those people who refuse (biodegradable) plastic bags at the supermarket
trying to be seen to save the planet but pack their shopping into millions of those ubiquitous green, blue or red rectangular non-woven-propylene bags and those sacks made from hessian/cotton grown on otherwise perfectly arable food-growing land.

fucking greenies
What gets right on my tripe is (and I may be stereotyping a little here) the quite probably large cross over of save-the-rainforest types who are also vegetablearians.

They generally consume more soya products to make up for the protein not gained from meat. Soya products which are the primary crop in most deforested areas of south america.

partly true
but the vast majority of the soya is grown to feed live stock for the meat industry.

Not to mention the HUGE amounts of methane these pulse-eating cunts fart out
If they really cared about the Earth, they'd kill themselves.

I have some of those bags.
They're dead handy for carting my laundry about. I gave up using them for the supermarket because they either got left in the house or the boot of my car.

Ditto.
Except I have a washing machine & dryer.
Don't get me started on them!

But the point about those bags is...
... they're reusable.

And not just for a couple of uses: I have bags from over six years ago, which I have used literally hundreds of times. That's a lot of plastic bags saved - whether they're biodegradable or not.

The reusable ones are also a lot stronger than the plastic throwaway ones. Ever tried buying more than one bottle of Coke at once? The plastic bags split and break, so you have to double-bag simply for strength. The reusable ones will easily carry several bottles at once.

See Gormo's point.

Perfect for trash
If I didn't get my supply of bio-degradable bags at the checkout, I'd have to purchase bin bags. Never understood the point of paying for a huge plastic bag just to throw some trash in. Especially as I never fill them.

If I want big trash bags - I just use those annoying charity bags that are constantly jammed through my letter box every few days.
