Free plastic bags should just be banned.
People can re-use stronger bags, buy those 'bags for life' etc. It only costs a couple of quick to acquire enough bags for a family's weekly shop, and they are much much stronger.
I happen to think Austria/Germany are very good comparisons with the UK, as both charge for plastic bags, and both countries have excellent reputations for recycling within the home. Britain is so far behind them in terms of environmental sustainability.
