San Francisco's Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to become the first U.S. city to ban plastic bags from large supermarkets to help promote recycling.

Some experts say the bags are one of the biggest sources of pollution in the cities. But how will this affect both the small and large merchants? How will this affect consumers?

Aren't bags one of the things you can make with recycled plastic?
Isn't the process for recycling paper much worse for the air than plastic?
