We went to the plastic bags in the first place to “save the trees”. The tree-huggers need to make up their minds.
They have made up their minds. It's not about the environment, it's about control. They do this to "remind" you who is in control.
One super market chain tried a 5 cent surcharge(tax) on plastic bags here ,but stopped ,people just went to another chain that had no tax , me thinks places out side Austin will see more business
