>> I have had the same bags for 2 1/2 years and still going strong. I don't know how many times I have used them but its been way, way more than 51 times...........at least double that number. Its too bad the UK study got it so wrong. But for them to be safe you'd have to wash & dry them after each use or at least every second use. You think that has no environmental impact? And there is environmental cost with the original manufacture. Overall, the use of these cloth bags is doing more environmental damage than the plastics ever were. Milton Friedman once pointed out that government actions must be measured by their results, not by its intentions. I'm sure the idiots who made the law THOUGHT they were doing the best thing. But like so many government programs (Obamacare, for example), good intentions just don't cut it. You actually have to get good results. The real pity is that other governments refuse to see the facts and blindly follow suit. Not to mention how silly you must feel having to carry your own shopping bags into the grocery store.
