I line my trash cans with the plastic bags. What we don't use goes back to the store in their recycle bin for plastic bags. We use cloth bags for grocery shopping. Yesterday I had taken 3 in with me. When I put the things on the counter to purchase I thought I was going to need only 2 bags so I held on to one. But then I did need another bag. They were asking me paper or plastic. I said, "Oh I have one more bag to use here." We get a credit on our grocery bill when we use cloth bags. I think it is only 3 cents per bag, but hey, I am not taking home any plastic bags that way.

I'm an American living in the Czech Republic. I never realized how much I was wasting until i actually had to pay for the bag. I think Americans don't realize how much we waste. That is one of the things I'm taking back with me to America. I already looked where I can bring recycleable items. I also will make my own compost. I did it here and my trash was very minimal.
