“Ban” is probably the wrong word. It’s really an artificial price floor of about 5c.
- ajsnigrutin 5y agoI see a lot more plastic bottles on the ground than bags. Usually you need a bag to take stuff home, and once there, you use it for trash, and then take the trash to the outside/large trash can. Plastic bottle.. you drink the contents, and some people just throw it away. Some countries have returnable plastic bottles (so at worst, homeless/poor people pick them up, to make some money). Most don't.
