Having seen at least one city dump once in your life, you will no longer be able to calmly accumulate mountains of garbage . This problem is becoming more acute due to the growth of the planet's population and unbridled disposable consumption. No one, including Nature itself, has yet learned to utilize the results of human activity 100% and harmlessly. It will take hundreds of years for her to process one bag from a one-time trip to the store and other human “needs”.
What to do if, even if you don’t want to create a lot of waste and sort it for further recycling and recycling, you still can’t do without a trash can? The market is full of garbage bags of different sizes, colors, smells, and functionality. There are even so-called biodegradable ones, which in fact often do no less harm to the environment than ordinary ones ... If you have accumulated plastic bags from going to the store and you cannot reuse them, use them as garbage. So you will save a lot, as well as save nature from excess plastic and emissions during its production.
But still, the best act for the conservation of Nature and our well-being on Earth would be to completely get rid of plastic and use fabric bags or other reusable containers when shopping.
