Does anybody else remember the question, "Paper or Plastic" as you went through the grocery store line? Let's face it, if these bags are a problem then industry needs to fix the problem.  Cassava bags, a plant, are available all over the internet.  I wouldn't mind paying the 2 or 3 cents per bag as production and shipping costs are currently higher than plastic bag costs.  But, once mass production kicks in I want that additional price to be included in the overhead I'm already paying.  Go industry, own this problem.
