If you live in the US you might have heard the question 'paper or plastic?', over here in France there was no such thing, plastic bags are default.
Some years ago they introduced larger bags that I could carry the weekly grocery shop in two. Sized as a glove for me. Auchan made them of fabric which is more resistant and lasts longer. E.Leclerc opted for large plastic bags and now Carrefour followed.
Truth is only small markets keep plastic bags for customers. Your choice is to buy the larger bags or carry your groceries in the trolley to your car. Casino still have the plastic bags and its giving away for free paperbags for frozen products. They have a handle to carry and they are reusable.
Green technology is coming, it is thru this small changes that we see how important the issue is. Sooner or later it will get to your local grocery story.
