Plastic shopping bags evil?
The greenies tell us to take our own bags to the grocery store in lieu of the plastic bags they otherwise pack everything into at the checkout. In my case, that is useless advice: at my place, the plastic bags that survive the trip home from the grocery store end up being re-used as bin liners.
If I don't get enough free plastic bags from the grocery store, I buy packs of plastic bags (from the grocery store) to serve the same purpose; and more plastic gets used in the process.

Yes, but I doubt you re-use all the plastic bags you take home from Coles as garbage bin liners; you'd have many more plastic bags than the number you'd need as garbage bin liners per week.
The calico bags seem to be working just fine; they're sturdier and larger, so no more breakages and fewer bags to carry.
