Attachment D: Text responses from consumer plastic bag ban survey a mix of plastic bags from the retailer and reusable bags (grocery shop in large quantites and don't have enough reusables to accomodate) Groceries: I always try to use discarded store product boxes unless paper is available Question 2: When you go shopping in Eugene, how often do you use a single-use plastic carryout bag provided by the retailer? No text response option Question 3: When you go shopping, how often do you take your own reusable bags? No text response option Question 4: What prevents you from using (and reusing) a REUSABLE bag? I don't like to use any bag we use plastic bags for dog waste, and paper bags for home kitchen trash bags I forget to take them into places like clothing stores. Cynicism use other non-reusable bags for other things including garbage disposal Don't want to bother with remembering them each trip. Also know I can recycle brown paper bags so I don't feel bad about using them. I reuse grocery bags at home as trash bags and recyling bags, so I want the bags Not really that interested in using reusable bags. We reuse the plastic bags as garbage bags and/or recycle them. I use plastic bags for kitty litter disposal made in china, unsanitary, I sometimes shop inpromptu, don't need them at home, don't know how many I'll need per trip, waste of my personal resources Concenience/laziness The only time I don't use the reusable bags is if I forget to bring them. reusable tote (carry-out) bags fail early or are too small; reusing store paper tote bags multiple times is much cheaper than commercial reusable totes because one can get a 5-cent store rebate if i dont have one I carry out the groceries and put them in my car rather than using plastic bags Being understocked--or needing something for damp vegies ineed paper bags for garbage and plastic bags for dog waste when I take the dog on walks It is inconvenient to pack bags from home when they are readily available fom the retailer I reuse them at home Pain in the ass Not always practicable for certain products we use the plastic bags to dispose of the 4 soiled Depends my husband needs each day I have some of the same bags I have used for 20 years here and in other northwest cities Also, reusable bags are not clean Sometimes I stop at the store unexpectedly and the one I carry always already is full. Buy more then anticipated I use the plastic bags to pick up dog poop. Convenience and the reusable concept is another waste of energy, an expense, and landfill item at some point We use resuable bags for pet waste. reusable not always best for raw meat/chicken = prefer those to be in a plastic bag Occasioanally I forget at home. But often when that happens I take stuff without a bag. I choose to use those provided me by the retailers. My choice being the operative word there.
