They don't care. Like most of the eco-Nazi's believe, you just shutup and do what they tell you because they know what is best for you. These people are sick in the head and left unchecked will leave a wake of destruction for mankind all the while proclaiming how caring and helpful they are. A lame horse has more value and those are often put down. /shrug

How many birds get chopped up by your "green" windmills that you global warming bag haters don't give one rip about?

Listen to yourself.
The convenience of not having to bring my own bag, as well a the convenience of not having to buy bags for trashcans at home (which I use my plastic bags for) is more important to me than a few fish. We have much more important problems to focus on as a society than a few fish dying.

I'm against wind turbines, so you'll have to do better than that.
They not only kill birds, but bats as well. The bats' lungs explode when they're in proximity to wind turbines.
Don't give me that crap about "my" green windmills.

It's not about a better deal. If you're so confused that you forget, or too lazy to go back out to the car, then pay for a store bag.

Damn! Kill aquatic wildlife so you won't be inconvenienced! Bringing your own bag to the store is equivalent to the labour of Sisyphus for you, I guess.
Pathetic.

You left out meat. I bring my own bags, but I will not use them for any raw meat.

Or just didn't bring a bag. I was on vacation to Austin, TX, in a rental car. Went into a store to pick up a few things, and they asked if I wanted to buy a plastic bag. Apparently, Austin has decided they'll cut down on bag use this way. There was no way I was able to carry all the things I purchased without bags, and even less willing to be blackmailed into the craziness. So I told them to forget it, and walked out. Austin didn't get my business that day.

So I should pack my reusable bags on a trip?

Then go tell your green buddies to put an end to the evil windmills. If you support green you support the windmills.

Do you support solar? Why are they leaving toxic waste in their wake? Or do you not care about that either?
