Poly bags are no longer perceived as a polluting agent.
Poly bags are made to be used as a practical piece of transportation for a multitude of items at a low cost.
Poly bags are also an advertising medium.
A reusable item for multi purposes.
Bags are friendly "MUSTS"
Crossovers from paper to plastics bags can't be ignored.
Foods stores have been upbeat with " ecology " when it came to supplying
carry out bags.   
They have chased away the reusable H.D. (high-density)Shirt bags.
Surely they had something in mind " savings"
Today the consumers are buying carry bags for their food purchases and trash
cans.       
It’s all logical, why not use the green factor and make money by managing the 
customers feelings when they are the ones paying the bills.
Plastic is here to stay! It’s a friendly user.
Use it do not feel ashamed!
At less than .05 cents a piece, be aware of the advertising advantages for the 
retailer. Easy and available advertisement at the customer’s expense.   
When it comes down to ecology, let’s make sure we know the real facts.
Plastic takes less energy to make into bags or other useful items.  It can be
recycled many times over.
You may be sitting on a porch made from composite materials which might         
have been made originally as a bag, then remade into a  tooth brush and now   
you are sitting on it and will be for ever .      
Good Luck mother earth. Wood for your porch is no longer an " in " thing.
Plastic that is recycled  is "in" !
Go ! Reuse your plastic bags.
