In the cotton bag example, I believe the 2 big factors that make them not great is water usage, and chemicals for bleaching etc. Is bleach getting pumped into a river better or worse than a plastic bag that gets ingested by an animal? I wouldn't say the chemicals aren't trash either. Plus in these situations im reminded of before I had a car, I'd walk to the shops, and not wanting to lug around a load of reusable bags I got disposables and walked home. What's the better option there? Car and reusable bags, or walk and disposables? Having said all that I'd agree with you. |

The better option is that you don't get the choice and you just deal with taking bags with you. "Lugging bags around" is a bit over the top, don't you think? Even the massive IKEA style bags fit in a back pocket.
I used to just bring a big military style backpack to the shop.
