When I was in Home Depot last week I noticed they have a sign saying that as of June 1 they will be charging 5 cents for plastic bags.
Crazy. I know the Real Canadian Superstore has done it for years, but really shopping bags should be part of the store's cost of doing business and worked into their budget. The argument being that its part of being enviromentally conscious, and just for the record I usually keep cloth bags in the car for my spur of the moment shopping. For me, those darn plastic bags are too troublesome to get rid of, but not everyone feels that way.
A much better method is what McGavin's Bread Basket uses and that is they give you a 5 cent discount from your order if you bring in your own bag.
