I re-purpose all my plastic bags and all the paper bags, and no bag that I've ever walked out of the store with has ended up blowing around the countryside. So, if the problem is litter, why not go after the actual problem and make it against the law to litter, instead of punishing all those folks who do not litter?
Actually, I do use those fabric shopping bags. Because they ride around in my car, they are all completely covered in dog hair, so I drag them around the grocery store, carry them in the grocery cart, and set them on the counter to bag my groceries, all the while spewing dog hair everywhere I walk in the store. But darn, it makes me feel good to do my bit to preserve the ecology.
