Do you think "start using cloth bags!" is as perpetuating as the alternate message? Are we less, more or equally as likely to respond to the positive mssage than the negative one?

I would suggest putting on the bag what you do wish to see. A message like, "Please start using cloth bags!" This may appear like a nonessential point but consider this, that the mind translates images into reality. By taking it a step further, and stating what you do want..this is more impressive. It impresses the positive outcomes you wish upon others. As opposed to resisting what you dont want..which brings up some negativity against all the plastic bag people, competition for their usage etc, and quite frankly perpetuates things. Perhaps this is the road less traveled. But it is highly effective. I like the idea. I would suggest putting on the bag what you do wish to see.
