Reminds me of Africa in the 1970s. My sister was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Upper Volta. At that time, there being no plastic bags, it was common to wrap up purchases in old newspapers, even items like meat. Maybe convenience stores will start having a stack of old newspapers by the register for customer “convenience “.
Maine banned single use plastic bags. Which is really too bad because I used to use single use plastic bags as trash can liners in the bathroom and laundry. Also to scoop out the litter boxes when I had cats. I also used single use plastic bags as a lunch box. Very convenient with the handles. Also to keep tubes of caulk fresh. Some used them to pick up dog poop. I miss single use bags.
This is probably going to go over like Florio’s runny egg ban and toilet paper tax in the late ‘80s. He got kicked out of office over it. People will not be happy when they have a cart load of groceries and are told they have to hand carry them from there because bags are illegal. Specificlly soccer moms, though they won’t say so because “green”. But they’ll hate it just the same.
That is so yesterday!

Thank you, Murph, for single-handedly saving the earth...with seven years to spare!
There’s too much single-use plastic containers. I especially dislike the beautiful bottles and jugs that are thrown away.
They replaced small plastic bags with large plastic shopping bags. Insane.
You elect democrat Aholes you deserve what you get!!!
Liberals are dirty smelly hippies.
There is no such thing as a "fossil fuel". Another LibTard term we need to fight and stamp out.
