Single Use <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Plastic</span></a> bags are never single use to <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/poor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poor</span></a> people. They use them for storage and as garbage bags. Typically getting two to three uses our of each bag.

Reusable bags cost money. Most places allow you to pay a small amount for paper bags. So, what used to be a free multi-use item now costs <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/money" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>money</span></a> with additional money now required for storing and <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/garbage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>garbage</span></a>.</p><p>3. Poor people often have to engage in expedient shopping. That is, combining a <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/shopping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shopping</span></a> trip with having to go somewhere else. This is because they are both money and time poor, and so have to be efficient. This creates the burden of having to always have a reusable bad on them. If they forget, it's even more money.</p><p>2/n</p>
