    To the last "Anonymous", thanks for your comment. You just can't squeeze many bags and store them as tidy and in such a small space as you can do by folding them like the video shows. If you don't have 1 minute to do it... just continue squeezing them or throwing them away and continue contaminating the planet. BTW, I do have a job and a life, and I bet that it's better than yours.

    "Who has time to waste FOLDING plastic bags? You're an idiot." If you have a place to store your bags-just dont bother. But its really useful when 2 person live in 14m studio, and you need to save storing space. Also, if you are just throwing yours away - you make a lot of harm for ecology. If you do use plastic bags-reuse them as many times as you can. Finally, just buy a big shopping bag made of durable material and dont take plastic bags in supermarkets. So this idea is very nice, thanks for the guide. Sorry for my english :)
