Though this decision of mine can be disputable, how about I add the argument that these same stores want us to use a loonie to use a cart (of course we get it back, but still there are stores who treat us better and still do good business. If you can't then it's your business model, right?). Somehow I don't like these canadian centric stores holding our reins tight to steer us in the direction they want. Many foreign company established chain stores are more friendly.
Having said that, let me get to back to the topic. Yes plastic should be banned no matter which form they are. Do you know what I do when I go to super store for groceries. I carry things in cart all around the store. When I come to my car, I transfer these items to my travel size suitcase in the trunk(Yes suitcase, as much as it sounds funny it is environmentally safe). When we get back to our home, I roll my suitcase in its wheels. I got to honestly admit it though, when I visit Walmart I still use the plastic bag. Now, if an universal rule came to ban plastic bags I would definitely change my shopping style. I say, Go Jute or Go "cloth mixed up with paper bags" or SUITCASES (in my case, LOL). Personally, I would suggest you to try this suitcase idea for once to see how great it works! Even during unexpected shopping I dump the purchased items from cart to my trunk, bring my suitcase to fill them up at my home's parking lot!
How about that?
Aap Dhanya ho!...Bas itna bataa dijiye aapke darshan kaise ho sakate he?
In a way that makes sense, whenever planning to go to India, all you need to do is to throw the same suitcase full of same stuff on the airline conveyer..I am sure most of the folks who travel to India, contents in at least one of their suitcase somewhat looks the same...
Neighbours must be feeling that look at this man, everyday he is coming back from India. Kids, initially must be getting excited to see the suitcases...now they may not look at the suitcases coming even from India...BTW, after keeping the bag in the trunk, how do you drive the car back to home? let me take a guess or two...you must be towing the car with your bike (cycle), or must have couple of horses to pull it...
If the concern is about what is going under the ground, I guess same concern is applied to what is going in the air?
Now suitcase..is it hardcover suitcase?. So just wondering all the groceries including ice-cream, tomatos,eggs, milk and different veggies stuffed there what must be happening during hot days like this one..when you open it at home it must look like Magnotta's the suitcase lol.

Lol Suitecase !!, dude thats not an Idea , rather thats your lack of idea !! with that kinda stuff you will be laughing stock for neighbors and your own kids ! Think of a day , when you buy some pointed object along with pack of milk, put it in suitcase and then turn it to rolling position... !!
My issue is your looks are that of desis, and you represent us. So I beg you,
try these :
1. there are shopping trollies you can use, a clothed bag with two wheels. buy one. its a once in lifetime investment with sure shot usage. You will require it more as you grow old.
OR
2. Keep one or two open card board crates in the trunk, easy to load, offload. do some lifting exercise.
OR
3. Use the low height hard plastic open baskets looking carrying case with with earlobe handles. you can also do laundry with them !
and till you buy one of these , replace suitcase with a sports kit carrier like bag as an enhancement to the process, temporarily though.
fun and shopping in same breath ???
since when
