However, with so many under the kitchen sink, I try really hard to not get any new ones--boxes, canvas and net bags all fill in when I remember. I am trying to make this 100% of the time.

Congratulations on promoting the lower use of plastic bags
IT is a general problem humantiy faces since OIL is not abundandy available and the production generates tremendous amounts of waste! WE all know it but nobody changes the direction -
The pollution to produce it (global warming) - are staggering.
Not long ago - and many "primitive" societies today use only natural(not manufactured) sources (like leaves, rattan and different fibers etc. for baskets and their food transportation! and NOT plastics - because they have no "Centralized" Mass-Food-Distribution and not masses of "smart" brains which actually
"DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING..."
TO THE EARTH & PEOPLE -Sometimes what looks like a step ahead can be a step backwards - or sometimes it is good to take a step backward for a moment -isn't dancing just the same way? - some scientist and politicians just know how to march straight ahead - - sounds like fun to you?
Anycase I don't know in USA or UK but in Italy u pay a plastic bag about 10 eurocents so... everytime i go to supermarket I use about 10/15 bags. If everytime I have to spend 1,50 euros (about 2 USD) and make something wrong in way of plastic pollution.. is so easy re-use old ones for several and several times..
Anyway .. excuse my bad english :)
I'm sure Wales will eventually get around to passing a similar law to the Italians/Irish etc. In the meantime, it's down to the individual.
Now, where's that pledge about never getting on an aeroplane again? ;-)
Good luck!

This is about much more than fixing the problems directly caused by plastic bags, it is about increasing the capacity of our society to change. Because very significant change is what is required to face the twin threats of climate change and peak oil.
It is not a campaign to eliminate plastic bags, it is a campaign to convince people to consider the consequences of their choices and to make personal changes that help build a vibrant future for us all.
Utilizing cutting edge online collaboration tools we can work together more effectively than ever before, so feel free to drop by our campaign centre at http://noplasticbags.ning.com and lend a hand. No matter how much time you can spare or what skills you can offer we would love to have you on board.
