As of a couple of weeks ago, IKEA is now charging US shoppers 5 cents for each throwaway plastic bag - proceeds from Year 1 will be donated to American Forests, a non-profit organization I blogged about last month.
If you want to avoid paying 5 cents per bag, you can purchase one of their reusable bags for 59 cents (as pictured). [Or, bring your own!] IKEA hopes to change customer behavior and reduce plastic bag usage by 50% (70M to 35M) in the first year. Way to go!
