Do Vegans use plastic bags at all?
Most Vegans I have met are doing it for moral reasons first and foremost. Indirectly, the production and disposal of plastic bags is bad for the environment and also is known to suffocate and strangle many mammals.
Just wondering how far Vegans go as far as not involving themselves in the harming of animals.
Looking for intelligent, open-minded discussions.

Actually I'm not a vegan, or even a vegetarian for that matter, but I've just made a bunch of canvas bags for going grocery shopping.
I think all of us have a repsonsibility to do what we can to make the environment better.
You raise an excellent point-one I had not considered. You have given me something to think about-I am giving you a star. Just the thought of how many end up in the landfills warrents some consideration. I try to recycle them (I grow cabbage, brocolli and cauliflower in grocery bags, hanging them from my porch rail. I think I will have to consider this-thanks for a good point
I use plastic bags, and then I take them to the grocery store where there is a plastic bag recycling bin.
I can't recycle paper bags, so I am not really sure which is better (throwing away paper or recycling plastic.)
Many environmentally-minded people use canvas bags. I am not that cool at this point.
I'm vegan, I'm an environmentalist, and I carry my own canvas bags to the grocery store with me :-)
Ever since I found out that those plastic bags are the number one item discarded I stopped using them.I use paper bags but reuse them or recycle them.
I use a canvas bag. However its a bit incidental.
I was unaware of plastic bags being used to
strangle other manmals.
