Selling reusable bags at $1 turns a $0.015 cost into a $0.55 profit - from a store's point of view. This scales quite nicely.

Reusable bags in the UK are 5p, and the big shops certainly give any proceeds to charities.

$1 sounds far better though -- fewer people will treat them as disposable. I guess you should vote with your wallet.
