I thing getting rid of plastic sacks is good and we shouldn't have ever had them anyway. They only came into being due to misguided and low information efforts to "Save Trees" by getting people to stop using paper!

Just ban plastic bags completely and bring back paper. Then charge for the paper bags if necessary in order to incent re-use.
