I walk. It's like 10 minutes to the supermarket. So I'd rather carry weight for 10 minutes, on my way back, instead of 20, both ways.

This discussion is a waste of time. There are two options. One is easier than the other. Like everyone else, I want to take the easier one. Period.

The easiest option of dealing with plastic waste is just throwing it out your window and letting the litter pile up. Obviously people don’t do this because it has negative externalities that are undesirable.

Imagine living 5 minutes from the supermarket. Then you could walk 5 minutes one way, and 5 minutes the other, adding up to 10 minutes total. Problem solved.

convenience has a price. it's worth considering what that price is, especially in aggregate.
