Wal-Mart Begins Charging for Plastic Grocery Bags in California

Is this a good idea? That is, charge for the temporary storage containers that house goods customers just bought? Wal-Mart apparently wants to force customers to become eco-friendly, although any customer -- after paying 15 cents for a reusable, washable bag -- can throw them away. Want a larger shopping bag? 50 cents, please.

I was told by the cashier @ our local Wal-Mart that they will be starting this soon as well. For the most part I bring my own bag, but when you forget it at home, you're stuck. What will they come up with next, taxing us carbon dioxide that we exhale? Huh.
