Austin bans single-use bags from retail stores

Early Friday morning, the Austin City Council unanimously voted to ban single-use shopping bags at Austin-area retail stores. The ban will affect both plastic and paper bags and will penalize retailers who continue to offer them to customers after the March 2013 implementation date, according to the Austin American- Statesman. The city granted various exceptions for things including produce bags and bags for fresh meat products, but the ban is fairly comprehensive. The city council’s move is bold and spells progress for Austin. But the $2-million education campaign will be crucial to ensur- ing shoppers aren’t caught by surprise at the checkout line. The city council’s education campaign must be habit-forming and, if possible, not annoying. Months of repetitive discussion of the bags removal will only harden existing resistance to the ban. Additionally, the specific details of the ban are still being worked out, and it is important that certain provisions do not disproportionately inconvenience certain subgroups, especially Stephanie Eisner | Daily Texan Staff students.
