This first problem I wanted to address was the unintentional hoarding of bags that people had in their closet. I first talked to my roommates and about the overflowing entryway dresser we had, the drawers and cabinets, usually designed for shoes and apparel, had been completely taken over by supermarket bags. These are all labelled as reusable, but only got used one or twice before getting shoved into the pile with the rest. Then, going up a level, I began asking my classmates and friends how many they would guess had been collected in their own homes. Most ended up guessing between 50 and 100, all with a location in the home where they accumulated. Front closets, milk crates, dressers, bottoms of pantries, all packed to the brim with shopping bags, unused until families give in and throw out the bulk of them.
