With the price of oil set to stay high and keep going up in coming years, expect to see increasing interest from retailers in campaigns to "ban the plastic bag". It'll be dressed up as environmental concerns but has more to do with their bottom lines than anything.
Plastic, which is a derivative of oil, will becoming increasingly expensive in years to come. Shit, in the last 5-6 years alone, the price of their bags MUST have doubled (at least), so you could imagine their impact in coming years.
This may also explain why, in recent weeks, each time I've visited Woolies in their "express checkouts", that I've been asked "do you want to buy a green bag today sir?".
Oh well, I can't complain - any reason is a good reason I suppose...
