Yup we did! Also Multnomah County (which Portland is in) won't let restaurants use styrofoam. The is a large portion of the population that uses reusable bags instead. Some stores do have an incentive, but it is usually 10 cents off or something similar.
Actually I went to a talk put on by the science museum in the area about this topic. The production of paper bags is actually more detrimental for the environment than using plastic bags.
