According to the article, the city of Los Angeles will stop allowing the use of Plastic grocery bags July 1, 2010. Shoppers will need to bring their own bags, or be charged 25 cents for each paper bag. They are hoping that state of California will be doing this by 2012.
Would you begin carrying your own bag?

I already (try to) do this. I think it's a good idea.

God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. ~Romans 3:24 from The Message
We have at least one store that is already doing this (exclusively--no other bags provided), and other stores are encouraging it.
I have no problem with it. I already have several bags. (Thanks to BOOMM)

Just at the grocery store. Everyone should gather 'round the hummus and water crackers first.

boy I hate wacko envriomentalism... .but I think the number of these bags used ONCE then tossed each year is around 100 BILLION. they are filling landfills...
this is one thing that might be a good idea to get rid of.
and dont even think about recycling them. 1 ton of the stuff costs $4000 to process and can then be resold for about 32 bucks.
