This is what I think is one of the most shortsighted aspects of that bag ban. Before, those plastic bags were reused as trash bags such that I hadn't bought trash bags for years. Now, i have to pay for plastic bags to throw away, and when i have to pay for something that I throw away, I'm not going to buy the fancy good for the environment trash bags that cost a fortune. I'm buying cheap. Net zilch for the environment and negative on my wallet.
