Even if you don't love to shop, you have to hit up a store every now and then for something. An inevitable side effect of shopping is the accumulation of plastic bags of all shapes and sizes. Pantries, closets and junk drawers everywhere are overflowing with them. Many of us don't like to toss them out; it seems like a terrible waste to simply send them off to a landfill. Trillions of plastic bags made from sources such as natural gas or crude oil are produced each year. As a result, many big box retailers are taking measures to reduce their plastic bag consumption. Some of the easiest reuses for plastic bags are obvious. For example, they're excellent vessels for diaper disposal or taking a lunch to work (just make sure not to mix the two up). Could plastic one day rival polyester, silk or satin as a clothing material of choice?
