One way to discourage plastic bag use: charge for them. By the way, I like this idea, which is used at Deep Roots Market in Greensboro: give customers a small discount for bringing their own bags.

Whole Foods stopped using plastic bags completely beginning on Earth Day. They only offer paper bags, plus they give a 10-cent discount for each bag you bring for yourself.
