tallg same here.
in switzerland we usually buy our shoping bags, (paper bag) for 30rappens, =like around 25cents us.
i usually went shoping with the same bag till its weak , and i put it with the newspaper for recycle.

since i moved here , i found it really careless how to they put just 3items in one bag. when i get home i dont know what to do with these bags. i now have a whole bunch of plastic bags in my kitchen.

now when i go shoping, i tell them dont worry, i will pack my own stuff.

action speaks louder than words
