I think it is a great idea to charge for plastic bags. Maybe this will FINALLY cut down on the waste that people don't seem to think twice about. I have about 6-8 green bags, but I usually find that I only need 4 or 5 for a large shopping trip. They are easier to carry than plastic bags (they don't cut into your hands and the weight distributes easy). In fact, many grocery stores will take a nickel off per bag that you use each time you use them. After continued use, the bags basically pay for themselves. So why not use them??

Also a lot of grocery stores have containers where you can recycle plastic bags.
