Newer Plastic Grocery Bags Disintegrate

Don't we love to re-use those plastic bags from the grocery store? I store things in them, and a lot of women cut them into strips and crochet them. Those strips are called "plarn."

Well, a warning. They are now making them to disintegrate in the landfill. I just took one out of my cupboard that I was using to keep some socks, and before I could open it and take the socks out of it, it began to fall apart all over the floor. I couldn't stop the confetti, it was everywhere. It floated and flew. I had to drag out the vacuum cleaner.

The older bags are still useful, but be mindful; I wouldn't use them for crochet projects unless you are very sure they won't disintegrate.

I have a friend that works at Home Depot. She told me that the bags from that store disintegrate over time.
