You would not be BANNING plastic bags. You would just be limiting the supply of them. No one is going to go to the grocery store WITH a plastic bag, shop, demand that things be put in a flimsy plastic bag, unload the stuff in a box in the car and then let the plastic bag fly as they tool down Highway 130.
So charge heavily for them, or eliminate them all together. On a wet, hot island, paper will break down more quickly and no turtles --you know, the ones that can't be left in peace any because someone wants to have a magical-Federal-law-violating moment harassing them-- will not be tempted to eat paper.
Chicobags are sturdy, strong, reusable, and the energy expended to create them will pollute China only! (And that place is a lost cause).
