There, you pay for each bag that you use. So you pay 1 Euro for a cloth bag and remember to carry it, or you pay a few cents each time you need a plastic bag. The majority of people used cloth bags, definitely! I think that taxing each single-use bag is a great idea. It cuts back on their use, and helps you actually see that it does cost to use them.
