Boston has joined San Francisco, Baltimore, and Annapolis in banning plastic shopping bags.
So I read the article. Are these people even AWARE of REUSABLE canvas bags? Waaaaay nicer than paper which tears super easily too…

In Germany if you want the store to give you a “disposable” bag you have to pay for it.
I think that or a return deposit system on other packaging would work much better to reduce litter.
i do think most people aren’t aware of canvas bags =/. i’m really happy at work when someone buys a box of shoes and doesn’t want a plastic bag.
A few stores in my area like My Organic Market make it into a marketing tool. They sell them very cheaply, display them in prominent areas, and have the stores logo on them. It is free advertising for the business the way t-shirts are and with “green” being the in thing these days selling the bags is great PR.
