You can still get paper bags to put your groceries in on the East coast. Maybe I live close to a paper loving town, not sure.

Offer nothing but paper bags here. No plastic. We usually use cotton bags.

Paper is renewable, recyclable (although often this is a feel good measure, it takes less resources and less money to make new paper, paperback books doubled in price under Clinton because he signed a law requiring them to be made out of at least 50% recycled paper) and decomposable. Personally I don't like drinking out of paper or foam, but then I make my own coffee and carry it in a thermos anyways, they don't have coffee shops where I spend my time.
I do always use paper bags rather than plastic at the grocery store. You bring your own paper bags, or do grocery stores in Idaho still offer them? I've not seen a grocery store on the east coast offer paper bags in over 20 years. I work at a farm stand and we've been trying to use up 5000 paper bags the owners used to cover tomatoes with during a frost this spring. 100% of the customers look at the paper bags, then ask for plastic. I tell them paper is all we have. 80% of them forego the bag and make 2-3 trips to the car, grumbling about us not having plastic, rather than using a paper one. I don't get it. they use the plastic then gripe about "big oil" they wear oil , the sleep on oil , the put oil in their cars , their carpet is oil , their siding is oil but because it looks like different things they just don't see it as oil. after all to them only your truck uses oil seeing a lot more hemp being grown here , I don't know if it is for the fiber and the CBD or just the CBD almost every grocery in WI i have been to even whole foods and the super hippie co-ops that I have seen offer paper here , they may charge you a dime or quarter for a paper bag some don't even have plastic just paper and it costs a quarter, or plenty of re-usable you can buy for a dollar or two. the one exception I can think of is Walmart has only plastic bags
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

AND: Don't forget all the paper and foam trash from fast food.
