I meant single use, as in only being used to haul groceries, not disposable bags.
Yes I've heard of soap, so don't be stupid. I've also heard that bathrooms have soap, water and towels, and yet people leave store restrooms without washing their hands. Unless the cloth bags look dirty, a lot of people won't be washing their bags after each trip to the store, so they will be breeding bacteria, with the great potential for making people sick.
Is this really a major problem? I've heard of only one case of food poisoning involving reusable bags. I've shopped with reusables for years with nary a problem, and I'm on immunosuppressive therapy, so if anyone needs to be careful about germs, it's me. I think this issue is overplayed.
Freedom. Every time a nanny state law is passed, we lose some of it. Unlike our European friends, most Americans aren't willing to trade our freedom for some cause-du-jour political feel-good nonsense.
Happily, more don't want to fill the oceans with crap even for the sake of keeping right-wingers from being sad.
"*I* do it this way, which is the ONLY way that isn't bad, therefore I want the government to use the threat of violence to force everyone else to make the same 'choice' that I did."
Translation: "I can't deal with change!"
And probably: "I'm too young to remember a time BEFORE we had free plastic bags"

No there is not an issue with food poisoning with regard to reusable bags it has been overstated, more like what if's but no facts.
When you start to age, the first thing to go is the memory.
I recall ALL the hoopla about how paper bags were no good because of all the trees that had to be cut down.
I needs some investors for a couple of "Hemp" reusable bag factories.
The tree huggers will buy them for inflated prices just to say they have hemp bags.
California always seems to blaze its own path. It should continue along its own path by declaring independence.
Is that right, well Texas cities have also done the same maybe we should leave also, oh and take a few of other States with us.
