The difference between European countries and America is becoming so stark. Anyone reading or watching global news has to see how backwards this country is and that it’s only getting worse.

Statically the majority. Supermarkets are selling a bag per about 100 in purchases. From that you can deduce that the majority of people are only using them a few times.

UK supermarkets sold 1.5 billion reusable bags in 2019. That is 57 per household per year.
