Plastic bags take a long time to break down and there is not much market for recycling them. Choose paper or bring your own cloth bags whenever possible. When you do need to get plastic bags be sure to re-use them to minimize the environmental impact.

They take a long time to break down. I try to reuse mine. They give you five cents a bag where I shop.
