>paper bags actually take up more space at the landfill and are biodegradable >a LOT more energy to manufacture which could be done with renewables But again, the point of all this is to get people to reuse bags in the long run. If you just assume that people will mindlessly always need bags at every store they visit, you're missing the point. It's a simple cultural change, and it has to start somewhere, and it will always be imperfect, and older generations will always be uncomfortable with it.
