The problem is people, not the bags. Near my supermarket, you can see plastic bags floating in the air and hanging from trees, blown about by the wind. The problem is people who let the bags go and don’t dispose of them properly.
After this ban goes into effect, they will be targeting something else. They are never satisfied. There’s always something else that’s demonized.
Straws. Bags. Cup lids. Plastic water bottles. Single use anything. Give them time, they’ll ban it.
