While the insight you offered in Plastic Bags was accurate and informative, I think you fail to see one of the main reasons why the plastic bag "ban" was put into place. Those plastic bags don't break up in landfills and when not properly disposed of, the bags become liter and are bad for the environment. The ban was set up to discourage people from using them so they would stop being littered so frequently. Although it sucks to have to pay for them, this ban is a proactive step towards making the world cleaner. Austin is also a very environmentally conscious city so the ban will probably gain popularity over time.
