Plastic bag discourse is actually so funny bc you could probably use 20 of them every grocery trip for 100 years and create less emissions & plastic pollution than you do from driving for 20 minutes to get to the store
NJ banned plastic bags. Usage went down.
People chose alternative bags. Those bags have a larger carbon footprint.
Emissions rose 500%
