I have no problems with this whatsoever. It might be inconvenient, but we already make decisions that prize other ideals above convenience all the time.
Wouldn't it be convenient if I could just dump my used motor oil in the storm drain in front of my house? It would also be quite convenient if I could just dump my trash in the river rather than taking it all the way to the landfill or recycling center. We, as a society, have decided that that environmental impact is not worth the convenience.
Banning bottled water, or plastic bags, or whatever, is no different.
