Lovingly hand-washed plastic bags

Casa Sugar has a green tip right now that made me laugh out loud when I saw it: wash and reuse your plastic bags! I’m not laughing in a disparaging, derisive way, it’s just that it’s something my mother has always done, and which I’ve done a few times myself. And why not? If your plastic bag didn’t contain anything hideous and could be easily cleaned, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t use it as much as possible.
