So, I am not in favor of a new state law.

Yes this is true, in my opinion, besides what about the process that is used to produce paper? And it is also true that some people will not dispose of plastic bags properly, behavior can be callous and selfish. But banning grocery bags is like solving all problems with a hammer, cause it’s the only tool you’ve got.
