    Well, you are confused because unlike most of the world’s population, you have a car and probably a private garage. If you don’t have them, then plastic bags are needed.

      Wait, you are saying that not having a car and a garage makes people need plastic bags?

      I lived in small, and now in a large North American city, and never owned a car. The city banned plastic bags a few years ago and I already owned some reusable bags bought a decade before, so I just continued to use them.

      But mostly I use my backpack because I don’t have a car and live in a city where I can walk to grocery stores. Otherwise I use my bike panniers. And if I really don’t have a bag, instead of buying a new one, I only buy what I can carry with my hands. Crazy like that.

      Or did the sarcasm go over my head?

      When I was carless I depended on my reusable bags. Plastic bags were so annoying to walk or bus with.
