Here in Seattle, we've banned the use of plastic bags altogether, and it's been a great change. The use of fabric totebags has gone up--everyone uses them now, and the reduction of waste is noticeable and beneficial. I commend you for endorsing this kind of action locally where you are, and hope the town takes it up as willingly and enthusiastically as Seattle has. It's a good thing.
