The simple and impactful solution is charging for the cup. Here in CA, we have to pay 10 cents per grocery bag . I could buy a few thousand of them over my lifetime and it would not impact me very much but somehow I can't get myself to pay the 10 cents, since it's going to end up in the trash, so I carry my reusable bags to the store all the time.
A solution that would really work would be to band cities from exporting their trash to other cities without regards as to how it gets disposed. People would find a way to recycle. But I know it's wishful thinking.

- Scoundreller 8y agoBut what bags do you use in your wastebaskets???
- dannyw 8y agoI just buy a plastic bag. Wait. I’m not sure if this whole thing reduces any plastic or pollution...
- WheelsAtLarge 8y agoIt does help. The real problem with plastic is that it's ending up all over the environment. It's very easy for plastic to fly/fall into areas where no one can access it or is managing it. Sending plastic to landfills at least keeps the plastic in one place away from polluting the whole world. It's not an ideal solution but it helps. Yes, getting rid of plastic is best but containing it to one place even if you have to use plastic bags helps.
