I wish I could buy slightly thicker paper bags that lasted 10-15 uses for 8 cents apiece. I would gladly buy boxes of those instead of the cheap crappy single-use paper shopping bags. I reuse the paper bags as much as possible. The reusable bags are often made with plastic or plastic fibers. At least if a paper bag makes its way into the environment the wood pulp fiber gets digested by bacteria and fungi.
