Just a couple of things: 1. I would have to buy 20 or more of the cloth bags to make one trip for groceries (only go once a month). 2. Core samples from land fills nationwide find more paper than plastic, much of it so well preserved that you can still read the print from 50 or more years ago. All that tells me is that landfills do not do the job for which they were intended. Burning or recycleing make more sense.
