Easy solution, fill them with dog poop and throw them out with the trash and they won’t get blown away. If you don’t have a dog, give them to a neighbor with one and make a new friend. Problem solved! Otherwise, responsible dog owners would be using another type of plastic bag that isn’t being repurposed, creating even more plastic waste.
