I suppose they are not in the landfill or blowing round the countryside! But I think most homes have this problem!
Very trueWell, not today, but surely (sadly) one day they will?

But Steve, why do you not take some with you when you go shopping!!
ref your veg - then all the fruit and veg would have to be emptied out on the conveyeur belt at the checkout to be weighed and/or counted and then put back in the back. Or all emptied out and rolling around at the self-checkout. There would be a long line of scowling customers behind you I bet! plus I'd prefer my veg to be handled by lesser people as can be TBH.I've been carrying folding fabric bags with me for a couple of decades and still have one in daily use that I bought in New Zealand 10 years ago! The big ripstop bags they sell for about 50p last for yonks too. I'd say plastic bag use has reduced enormously but it still irritates me that there are rolls of plastic bags by the fruit and veg in supermarkets... so simple just to keep a separate bag for this and pop everything in loose. I confess I'm still fairly addicted to ziplock bags for the freezer I do wash them and reuse as often as I can though.
I scan as I shop, so everything stays in my bags after I've weighed it and printed the little label to scan. You're right though, if I shop anywhere else I have to put it all from the trolley to the conveyor. Even if I'd plastic-bagged it, everything would still need to be weighed at the checkout though.ref your veg - then all the fruit and veg would have to be emptied out on the conveyeur belt at the checkout to be weighed and/or counted and then put back in the back.

My Local greengrocer has whicker baskets that you just put you goods in all together and they pick it out to count/weigh it and then goes into bag you brought - that would be the greenest option I guess
