My state just went bag free, my town has been bag free for 10+years. For those of you complaining about taking mass transit and wanted to stop and shop on the way home there are solutions to your problem. You can pay and buy a bag, you can also purchase a very lightweight and compact bag online or in a store.Stores where I live have a wide variety of non disposable bags for sale, the majority cost .99-$1.50. Grocery stores locally still have paper bags for produce and biodegradable (cornstarch) bags for meat. (An enterprising Yid can make a few bucks by selling a variety of non disposable bags for shopping.) I can fit at least 4 compact ripstop bags in my small (6″x9″) purse with room to spare. I keep a couple in my rain coat pocket too. I’m old enough to remember a time before plastic or paper bags at stores. We managed then and we can manage now.
