i’m so sick of plastic bags. every time i run to a corner store for something the store clerks try to push them on me even though i bring my reusable bags. Aldi’s makes customers pay 10 cents for bags too.

Wendy: Victoria didn’t ban them, it only imposed a surcharge. Many, many places already have a surcharge.

While this is most excellent news, I’m slightly disappointed that with this being the third post in a row about banning plastic bags, Inhabitat missed the opportunity to talk about Victoria jumping on the ‘ban-wagon’… or maybe you have more taste and discernment than the average punster. :)

That is so awesome!!! I remember when I lived in Australia, it cost more to get paper bags for your groceries, so most people stuck with the plastic. I finally bought some “green bags” to take with me every time I went shopping. Good on ya Melbourne! I hope the rest of the big cities follow suit!
