It’s was done ostensibly for “environmental” reasons. Too many plastic bags in rivers they said. What really probably happened was the supermarket co-ops lobbied Trenton because the overhead cost of bags was too high combined with food shortages in a very crowded suburban market. Environmentalism was a cheap excuse. The State is responsible for trash cleanup and the maintenance of waterways. Private property doesn’t have a litter problem.
