Most "plastic" one-trip bags are now made with corn starch and degrade very quickly with minimal effect on the environment.

The charge is also levies on paper bags.

This is a nod to "environmentalists" who are in most part "mentalists".

Reusing bags is liable to expose many people to various maladies.
