My very small town has been plastic-bag free for over a decade now, and you have to pay for a paper bag (at the supermarket you can get a used box for free). Many other towns have done it since and now a whole state, South Australia. It works very well, and about five years ago, platypuses came back to our local creek now that it wasn't filled with plastic bags.
