    I HATE plastic bags! For a couple of months now I have been cleaning out and re-using my plastic bags. It might be a little extra work but it's completely worth it. I just can't get my self to throw them in the trash. Same thing with straws. I have a whole cup full of straws that I refuse to throw away.

When i told her i didn't need a bag cause i was putting the 3 items in my purse she seemed thrown off for a sec

      I had a similar experience.  I told the checker I din't need a bag at the store and instead of just not using a bag she threw it away!  It was completely bizarre.

    It's crazy how repulsed i am at the sight of a plastic bag. If i don't have my reusable bag at the store i just cram everything in my purse! Going to the lake Saturday for a paddleboard yoga class and going to see if classmates want to help pick up trash afterward
