Something you can do, when it is time to toss them in the trash - is cut the handles. It prevents critters from sticking their heads through the hole and being unable to dislodge the bag from their neck. You should do that with 6-pack plastic doodads as well.
At this time my goal is to reduce my plastic use since eliminating it is not realistic. Some of my reusable bags are 5 years old. I wipe them out regularly. When I was up North, I bought several reusable bags made from plastic water bottles. That was over a year ago.
