    I use paper straws, I can’t get a bag at the supermarket to hold anything but I still have to pay for those bags.

    These cunts get to keep wasting the earth. Yes I’m including Taylor Swift, Jeff Bezos, the heads of Microsoft, Adobe, HP and all the rest.

      You should look up the fascinating technology of “reusable bags”. I haven’t bought one in years!

        Reusable bags take up more resources than using single-use plastic bags. You’d need to use the reusable bag for decades to make up for the additional resources to create that bag compared to single-use bags. Things slant even more towards plastic if you can use the bag more than once, like for a bathroom trash bag.

          Plastic bags get recycled into garbage bags.

          Banning plastic bags means I have to BUY plastic bags for garbage
