I think in most places in Europe you also have to bring your own bags. They're kicking that debate around here in San Antonio now.
From what I've gathered it's due to the lead and toxins plastic bags contain. People throw them away which is bad for the environment. They choke wildlife and don't break down in landfills so I can see why more cities are considering banning them.
