In response to "they are considering reversing the 5 cent fee here. i actually wrote to my counsellor and told him we should keep it." by Andie

fwiw, I think I'd rather have that than a ban.

at least some stores in san jose have paper bags for purchase (10 cents or a quarter, iirc); but the ones in Target are smaller than usual and flimsy. decent plastic bags are a better reuse bet vs. them, and I'd guess a lot of people would go for decent 5 cent plastics. giving them some value might encourage reuse and recycling, too.

Hmm. Our Target bags rock. Much sturdier than the grocery bags. -- nm - Spawn May 23, 13:56 7
- localTargets used to have great plastic bags; but, maybe a couple of years ago?, they switched to weaker ones. - b. May 23, 13:58
- Also, readin gthat link, it makes me sad that the paper bag ban died. I would rather see them all banned then some of them. - Spawn May 23, 13:58 5
  - I've used reusable bags longer than anyone else I know, I've given them as gifts (pretty ones!), and more. if paper are offered, I choose (and reuse) - b. May 23, 14:35
  - I like my reusable bags, I just never remember to take them with me. -- nm - znufrii May 23, 14:24 2
    - I have mine on a hook by the back door. I just grab them on the way to the car. - CovingtonCat May 23, 15:06
    - This is me right now. I guess that will be changing... -- nm - con_carne May 23, 15:03
  - They're very useful for going on trips, too -- nm - Beryllium May 23, 14:23
