I also think it would help if cashiers could encourage you to buy the bags in a friendly, non-pressure way - instead of automatically saying "paper or plastic". We have to change what we perceive as "normal" before we can reach the tipping point of Change. Thanks for sharing, Tao I agree, Donna - In sight, in mind.

I am finding myself much more likely now to either bring in a bag or buy one of the cheap store bags and then reuse it now. Sometimes it's just having them available that makes the difference.

Also- on a fair trade delegation to East Timor in 2006, this awesome family took us in as we had to avoid Dili during some uprising. I was able to capture this photo of our friend who supports our anti-plastic bag idea....... http://picasaweb.google.com/chelsbay/506EastTimorFairTradeDelegation/photo#5074191799547438834 yeah! when i studied in italy during university, the local stores charged 25 cents for each bag you took. i loved that! so most everyone brought their own bags.
