Le Laboureur work shirts can be under $150 at some stores. They are a different style though and have been difficult to find in stock online.

I only recently ordered some so have no direct experience. The durability of the fabric and quality of construction are substantial from everything I've read.

It's worth asking to use a bag you've brought. I do that all the time and businesses don't mind at all. Many are actually surprised and think it's a great idea.

For less planned purchases, I find it pretty easy to keep a bag in backpacks, jackets, etc. for ad hoc purchases (or carrying anything generally) to forgo one time use bags. The ones I use for everything are lightweight and foldable, and can easily fit in a pocket.

In my seventh grade history/social sciences class two of our main projects were to draw physical maps (no political borders) of Africa and North America. They were drawn on blank paper a few feet in each direction, and students would generally draw a faint grid to help with accuracy.

We were graded on the number of physical features included, and how accurately the coasts, rivers, mountains, etc. were drawn.

I wonder if anyone still teaches with similar projects. It was a great way to learn in detail about the surface of the Earth.

Just tried out the app. Interesting and important goal for the app with an effective clear and simple design. Great work!

Edit: After using the app a bit more, there are a few interface changes that could improve the app. Is there any place to contact you about this? The app store didn't have any contact information.

Why do journalists do this?

I agree, this doesn't really help convey the size of the number. It assumes readers know the circumference of the Moon, when the size relative to Earth would be more useful.
