Thank you for the article highlighting issues, including costs, around single-use plastic bags versus paper bags (“Paper bag sales on the rise as plastic bans go into effect,”).

A win-win solution is to bring your own bags. It is a small step everyone can choose to take to make a difference.

Like many with good intentions, I used to forget to take my bag into the store. The bags sat in the back seat. Now, I leave one reusable bag between the passenger seat of our car and the console so I don’t forget.
