No issues in cambridge. They've had this ban for a few years now. I dont see riots in the street demanding free plastic bags.

That's the fun part about this debate: there's data. It works.

I was doubtful before my local area banned them, now most people love trading a slight inconvenience for a lot less litter.

And then the next area to propose a ban has a similar debate, usually without considering the results of the previous experiment.

A lot of the smaller shops just ignore the ban, though. It's still helped quite a bit, but it hasn't been complete.
