RE: My One-Week Breakup with Plastic: A Simple Experiment That Changed My Mindset

Exactly! That’s why I mentioned the old habits of our elders in the article. The goal shouldn’t be to simply replace every plastic bag with a paper bag and create another problem. A durable cotton or cloth bag that we keep using for years makes much more sense.

And that Islamabad example made me laugh xD
Some shopkeepers giving things directly into your hands while others selling paper or “third class” cotton bags at triple price. Maybe the real change starts when carrying your own bag becomes so normal that nobody even asks for one anymore.
