Eliminate plastic bags in New York or wherever

Hi there!
I'm from a resourse-less small country in far east and I often feel uncomfortable about waste and indifference about it in this country (US). I do believe plastic bags for shopping will be extinct some time in the future in New York but I'd like to accelerate that speed, hopefully! I myself use a cotton shopping bag. In my hometown (city in Tokyo), a municipal government charges five cents for one plastic bag (strictly speaking, the reality is a bit different) to promote "bring your own bag" and my-bag-ratio is increasing. I could see that super markets in New York sell reusable shopping bags nowadays (a big move!) but I rarely see them in use at cash registers. How can we promote "bring your shopping bag is cool" or guilty feeling to use plastic bag or what else? Let me know your thought.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
