Great post. Does anyone know other states? I have been using reusable bags for 2 years. Trying to spread the word to family and friends. New law will help.

I’m glad to see everyone’s excitement for this bill/dislike for plastic bags! Hopefully it won’t just be retailers that stop using them, but an increased awareness of consumers will turn more people using canvas/other bags. Nic, another idea is to buy a reusable bag to put in your purse – they have ones that roll up mini-sized, so even if you ‘forget’, you still have one on you! I know they have them at Arcadia, the Big Green Earth Store and other local stores, only about $8-$12 or so.

Now I only hope this trend will spread throughout the whole country. Plastic bags are just way too archaic for these days.

Nic G- I used to have the same problem!
One suggestion is to keep the bags in your car or by the door so you’ll grab them before you head to the store.
Or, do what I do- I write a reminder on my grocery list so I’ll remember to bring the bags in when I glance at the list before going into a store.
