Do you ask for paper or plastic bags at the supermarket, or are you environmental friendly and bring your own muslim or net bags or other reusable foldable boxes?

I guess I'm a bad girl.... I always ask for paper inside plastic! Only because the bags are being made cheaper & smaller- so if you have just paper- you can't pick them without holding the bottom or the sides rip out-- if you have just plastic, the bags are so small only about 5 or 6 things fit into a bag- then in the car they fall over & everything is rolling around in the back of the van! ugh! Plus you end up with lots & lots of plastic bags with a few items in each bag. Plus I do recycle the bags for various jobs.
