 Ask Ashley

Q:

Dear Ashley,

Assuming that I am already using reusable shopping bags (for groceries and any shopping!), reusing fruit/vegetable bags and recycling as much as possible... what is the best option for garbage bags?  I am reusing old/used plastic grocery bags (from someone else).  Is there really any advantage to using compostable or bio-degradable plastic bags for the landfill?  I didn't think they would break down much in landfills if there is little air or water.

Thanks,

Debbie
