Re: Bloomberg to charge tax on plastic bags at supermarket
I was happy to hear this. DH and I have been bringing our canvas bags to the supermarket for years now. I am not kidding everyone stares at us! Maybe where I live no one uses them??? But I hope now they will be forced to use them to avoid spending the extra $.

 that's why I say I'd have to learn and honestly it will take time and be hard on me for awhile if i was forced to.
Because I can't stand to throw anything in the garbage, I've collected easily 30-40 paper/plastic shopping bags with handles in my pantry over the years. These are what I use for food shopping, when going to family with food or presents in tow, when taking my dog to work for all his stuff...
Also, I keep extra bags under my driver's seat or in the pockets on the back of the chairs. So even if I do forget, I know they are there. As soon as I unpack them, I shove them back in my pocketbook so I won't forget the next time I go to the car.
I also have two large beach bags that are perfect for the heavier items like milk.
YOU CAN DO IT!

We use canvas bags all the time and they hold A LOT more than the plastic.
I think taxing the plastic bags is a GREAT idea.

I actually don't mind the idea. It serves a couple of purposes.
