No, that is not my understanding of the paper. It's 4 uses for a heavy-duty "bag for life" to be better for the environment than a disposable one. As supported by this Environment Agency report: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/291023/scho0711buan-e-e.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... 6 billion fewer plastic bags were issues in the UK after they started getting taxed. That's only a small amount of CO2 saved per bag, but not negligible on a national scale, and it's completely avoidable. Plus you only have to have a very small percentage out of 6 billion bags escaping the standard refuse system for them to become an environmental problem in themselves. I think it is well worth it.
