In Scotland they started making stores charge for plastic bags to reduce the waste and environmental impact of them. The number of bags however hasn't decreased, people now just pay for them. Where does the money go though, hmm.
I remember Tab, yum!

They just started that bag buying bull in Oregon. People just spend money on paper bags. Its rather ridiculous.

The other problem is that it turns out that many of the reusable bags are not better for the environment. They don't last long enough to make up for the additional material that they use hence they create more waste overall.

So true. I had an argument in a supermarket over a lifetime bag which fell apart. They didn't do that one anymore so couldn't replace it despite having a near identical one!!?

By "lifetime" they just meant the bag had one. You didn't think they meant YOUR lifetime did you? ;)
