I might be coming around on this. My first reaction is always anger, then denial, then... what are the emotional progression steps?
Anyhow, I was often using reusable bags before the ban, but always use them now that you get a credit for them, or a penalty for a disposable bag. I respond to financial incentives/penalties.
I still think the whole thing is a solution in search of a problem, especially in Oregon.
