Use a grocer that has paper bags.  Trees are renewable.  They make paper bags out of trees (sorry if that is obvious but I think the younger generation might not realize this yet.)
And here I am still sucking on a soggy paper straw... 
While juggling the 3 items I bought at the store (because plastic bags are no longer allowed), as I walk down the street... 
And yet it's made no difference, and only gotten worse?
