A ban on plastic grocery bags?

I once saw some plastic bag recycling bin at my grocery store, but having people actually use it would be a very rare occurance. I usually reuse these bags into trash bags (for smaller trash cans) and such. I'm not one to easily throw away perfectly good bags. Although I see the harms in paper production, we really just need to encourage paper recycling instead. I'm pretty sure paper bags are made of recycled paper (and if not, should be), and it would probably be recycled anyway. But reusable bags are the way to go, it seems. Even if everyone would think you're some dork if you do use canvas bags. I should try it out some day.

How ya doing, buddy?
