Plastic bags should be banned everywhere.

My family always take our own bags to the store. This should be the norm not the exception.

I use cloth bags when I shop in any store i.e. grocery, retail. I always hope that it will rub off on the person behind me. I still don't see anyone using cloth bags and the 1% that doe recycle is not enough. Laws need to be passed in every state to ban these bags!

Yes I do for everything!
