Whole Foods says that by Earth Day 2008 they will be eliminating plastic bags and instead offer only paper bags or reusable bags made from recycled plastic bottles for $0.99.

You are invited to bring your own bags and get “a refund of at least 5 cents per bag.”

Do you like this idea?

We’re going all out for reusable! [Whole Foods] (Thanks, Corey!)
