    The thing about the "just bring your reusable totes to the store, duh" busybodies is the assumption you are driving a *car* to the store and the totes are in your trunk. What if I *walk* to the grocery store on my way home from work?https://reason.com/2019/05/07/new-jersey-politician-wants-to-ban-all-bags-paper-or-plastic/ …

        Yes, yes, there are all sorts of things I COULD do. How about you mind your own business and let me live my life as I wish?

        It's amazing people talk about "oh it's no big deal, just start carrying a bunch of STUFF I think you should carry with you all the time" like it's nothing. What if I handed you a file folder and told you to carry it everywhere because I felt like it?

        The PAPER bag ban doesn't even have the plastic-ocean-waste justification. It's just another kind of paper usage. You could just as well say no print newspapers or books because you can read them electronically. But that would be stupid.

        So do I. Putting them in a backpack or briefcase is pretty easy.

        We've been through all this in the UK. In the end you just remember to carry a pack down reusable bag or buy one in the store as a last resort. (Works fine in London where nearly no one drives to and from work)
