My unscientific estimate is that at least 80 percent of customers rely on the free plastic bags to transport their groceries. I don't think it is anywhere near time to force those shoppers to change their habits just because a minority has an environmental agenda.

I understand your point of view because for many years We used them and reused them till they broke or got "funky" or gunky. So, I say, let them fight it out!
Ladies and gentlemen and the billions around the world!
On my right, sporting the old, holey, faded boxer shorts and spotted undershirt and fighting to continue using plastic bags is The Hell with the planet, I don't wanna have to change!
On my left, sporting newly recycled cotton yoga pants and bamboo t-shirt, hoping to upset the old mindset and reset it to CleanUpTheTrash is the challenger, A Healthier and Cleaner World for All.
"
LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE,"
Odds makers show that in the short run, The Hell with the planet, I don't wanna have to change will start off deflecting the growing strength and youth of A Healthier and Cleaner world for all. But, as the contest goes into the next few rounds "Don't wanna have to change" will be warn down by ever growing concern for Mother Earth and ultimately plastics will be seen for the problems and risks they pose. Ultimately, the victory will go to a Healthier and Cleaner World For All.
I didn't go into the bloody details ( concern for the impressionable child minds that might be watching).
"Eco-warriers", people who actually care about the health and longevity of our planet have always been taunted, called names like "tree hugger",chicken Little, and though abused and made fun of, eventually the truth about the dark side of everything they challenge ends up in the light. New laws are created and most everyone a generation along understands the foolishness and lack of vision and refusal take responsibility for their errors of the past. Eco-warriers lose some battles, but, ultimately they win the war. What is in the best interest of our planet is also in the long term best interest of humans. Plastic is here. Plastic provides many good things. But plastic has a dark side. A deadly and dangerous side. Beware, if you care.
