Is this a real solution to a real problem? I live in a different city with a plastic bag ban and it just feels like busywork - I'm not at all convinced that policies like this have a significant effect either on littering or on the volume of solid waste.

I think the only real solution is to start a bag exchange program. People pay for the convenience fee + deposit. Remove advertising. Encourage washable bags.
