Unfortunately, there are still millions of consumers who are completely unaware of the lasting negative impact of use-and-toss bags. And, even if they are aware, the perceived hassle of using reusable bags is enough of a deterrent. I think a change in perception and habit is the answer to getting more consumers to 'make the switch'. Thanks for spreading the word. I, too, hope to help by offering The Tote Buddy. It neatly organizes reusable bags, allowing them to be kept nearby and handy for every shopping trip. Hopefully, it'll help people REMEMBER to use their reusable bags... a really simple, extremely impactful step.
