there's going to be a tax on them in Australia so people are forced to use other bags and the plastic ones are going to be phased out. I know how you feel about them. when I was growing up my dad would make us take used plastic bags on our shopping trips even though it would annoy the check out person a bit. And if we didn't have enough we'd just carry the items in our arms. I used to be embarased by it when I was little but it's a lifestyle that's very achievable and I guess thats what the government is hoping for.
