Wait, you are saying that not having a car and a garage makes people need plastic bags?

I lived in small, and now in a large North American city, and never owned a car. The city banned plastic bags a few years ago and I already owned some reusable bags bought a decade before, so I just continued to use them.

But mostly I use my backpack because I don’t have a car and live in a city where I can walk to grocery stores. Otherwise I use my bike panniers. And if I really don’t have a bag, instead of buying a new one, I only buy what I can carry with my hands. Crazy like that.

Or did the sarcasm go over my head?
