How would you feel if shops stopped giving away plastic bags for free?

Question

Would you remember to take your own or would you buy a bag from the shop?

Answer 1

I keep a cloth 're-bag' in my vehicles. Only WE can stop pollution! ;-)=

Answer 2

I would love it! I carry my own cloth bag plus a backback to carry groceries on the train (live in Chicago). Just recently read that China has banned free plastic bags and I believe they are the 3rd country to do so. Chicago needs to get their recycling program in gear also! I have to cart my recycling from my apartment building myself.

Answer 3

I would be thoroughly annoyed at first and forget to take my own bags all the time.  And then ~sigh~ I would adjust.  But what would I use to line my little garbage cans at home?

Answer 4

That's the way it is here for a long time now (Ireland) and yes I remember to take my own - at first I did forget but then I decided to just keep one in my handbag.  It really does reduce plastic waste -

Answer 5

I live in Finland here bags cost money to save the environment.

Just buy a bag or keep one in your bag just in case you go  to the store!!

Answer 6

I would love for this to happen in the US! I already bring reusable bags to shops, but not enough people do. I think maybe at one or two grocery stores they are charging for the plastic bags if you don't bring your own. I would like to see that program in every store!

Answer 7

many stores are starting to charge for bags, or offering you higher quality bags for purchase.

Answer 8

I probably would just load my stuff in the car without them then carry it in the house.

That would suck though because I would actually have to but bags to take my lunch to work in.
