I completely support this. My last drives from Hilo to Waikoloa convinced me beyond doubt. There were so many plastic bags blowing in the wind, stuck on branches, littering the sides of the roads. I have never seen it so bad.
We got our "re-Bags" from KTA several months ago. It's taken us a while to get into the habit of remembering to use them, but if they were all the stores offered and we had to pay for them each time if we forgot, I bet we would shape up pretty quickly!! I also like taking cardboard boxes from stores that offer them. We always reuse these at least once more...for taking glass bottles to the transfer station.
Banning plastic bags gets my vote!!
Someone shared this article with me a few months ago...I think it serves as an example of how it could work here:
