The issue with plastic bags is overblown and banning them doesn't solve the actual issue it just makes as all feel like we are doing something. Waste management is the problem. Sure excessive use of plastic should be prevented but what is more important is what happens after it has been used. Landfills are a horrible solution as trash is in the open and can migrate to water ways etc. Ideally all trash should be incinerated and the waste gases cleaned and captured. The heat can be used to generate power. The plastic should also be manufactured in such a way that it burns as clean as possible.
