Reusable bags are a farce that ignores the use case of reusing singe-use plastic bags as trash can liners, so you're already getting reuse out of them, and the thin bags will likely decompose faster in the landfill.

Meanwhile nearly every feel-good measure that banned plastic bags from municipalities allows paper bags, which require more energy and water to manufacture, and cannot be used to line trash cans.

So I now have to buy plastic trash bags, made out of thicker plastic, so I can throw out the paper ones.
