However, a polypropylene bag used 50 times (considered the average lifespan, although I have used them far more times than that before they wear out), is far friendlier than a thin plastic one used once. I do prefer ones made of stronger, more washer-friendly cloth myself. Yes, polypropylene is a petroleum product, and therefore not exactly earth-friendly.

It is on my list to make the change over to reusable CLOTH bags. I am disturbed by the fact that store's reusable bags are made out of harmful stuff, again. If you know anything different about polypropylenes to the environment, please let me know and settle my mind. :) Yes, I am culprit to plastic bags *ashamed* And I even did a paper for school on the detrimental effects plastic bags have to the environment.

Not to mention have you ever gone to the grocery store and gotten everything packed in plastic bags? After a month or two you'll have about 100 laying around the house!

I was referred to use a stiff plastic found in the needlepoint section. And it's real light, too. But, I would like the whole bag to have a bit more structure. @ Sue: Thank you!
