I remember hearing that plastic bags are actually a better environmental choice over paper, except in coastal areas where the plastic bags cause problems for aquatic life. Is this still the consensus, or... was there ever a consensus in the first place?

Instead of paper, why not ... I don't know what they're called. Some countries sell sturdier bags that are meant to be reused again and again.

I live in a city that has banned them. Now I have to buy plastic trash bags.

Did you not previously buy trash bags? Or do you mean you now use trash bags for your groceries?

You use the plastic grocery bags for bathroom, bedroom and kitchen trash baskets. There was no need to buy plastic trash bags for those baskets before.
