I don’t like connecting the bag tax to affordable housing. It should be used for waste conservation measures. Otherwise, I’m okay with it.

Ditto - I don't mind it (and we have a 7 cent bag tax on every bag here in Chicago), but use the funds for local conservation, not to build housing.

I have about five bags of various sorts (Nike, local grocery store, etc.) in the back of the car, and I just use those as needed. It's not a big deal, and it's the sort of environmentalism I can get behind.
