The plastic bag ban has arrived - how are you going?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

As of today, shops aren't allowed to hand out single-use plastic bags any more. What do you think about the ban, and what alternatives have you found?
Regular Vege King shoppers Pat and Les Oldman​ have a boot full of reusable bags in their car.
Both support the plastic bag ban, and have been using cloth bags for about six years.
They remember shopping when plastic wasn't common.
"The meat was wrapped in white paper with newspaper around it, milk was in glass bottles, flour in paper bags. It worked perfectly," Les said.
"I guess we have just gone with the flow until we have realised what has happened to the environment from plastic," Pat said.
