According to one report, somewhere between five billion and one trillion plastic bags are used each year around the world. Although free to shoppers, plastic bags have a high environmental cost, which is why it’s important to take your own bags to the supermarket. And they don’t have to be the canvas, environmentally friendly kind if you don’t have any. Even just reusing plastic bags from your own kitchen cupboard can still help to reduce waste.
