So, with all these paper bags, what can we do with them?
Depending on where you shop you can easily accumulate an array of different paper bags for carrying goods. Instead of just recycling your paper bags after first use, perhaps keep a few on hand that are still fit for purpose so they can be reused again when shopping in the future. It could save you paying for another paper bag during each shop, plus you are making a contribution to the environment be reusing and reducing resource use.
