Other than that, you make a good point -- why get rid of plastic shopping bags if you aren't going to completely alter society?

I apologize for tricking you with that hyperbole. What I should have said is that there is much more plastic in much less useful things, that are just as easy to go after.
As far as bags go, I see no problem with charging a nickle or a dime per bag to reduce use and curb excess, but completely banning them is ridiculous.
