Effective June 1, stores and restaurants in China are forbidden from using plastic bags. Now, I haven't had a chance to go to a Supermarkets to see how they are dealing with the prohibition, but I have gone to McDonalds a few times. I was first given a drink in a paper bag (before June 1, drinks were given in plastic bags - a Chinese fetish you could say). On another trip, I was given a drink in a poorly designed portable cardboard cup holder. Grab the holder by the handle and the drink cup droops so that you worry about spillage. This holder is one of the most pointless devices I have ever seen. If this is what it means to save the environment, I can see we are in for a lot of inconvenience.
