figure out what to do with my growing collection of plastic shopping bags

i am using to put trash and also to preserve the clay of the pieces i’m still working on at the ceramics class. it’s not like i’m very proud to keep using them, but at least i found a use that lasts longer than shopping.

i should spend a morning folding my bags

this goal is making me seem really nerdy, lol.

this link demonstrates how to make “fabric” from plastic shopping bags.

i’m not sure how good i would be at knitting plastic, but i could try.

i should prevent my collection from growing. but alas, i live at home and my parents do the majority of the shopping. still though, when i go with them, i should at least bring reusable bags and put the stuff i’m getting into them. i think my mom would use those bags more if she remembered about them. she used them twice maybe, but once they come in the house, they get shoved away with the rest of the plastic bags and aren’t seen again.
