- dopidopHN 4y agoMy mantra exactly. Plastic is such an exceptionally resistant material. And we decided to use it for the worst use case possible of “single, short use” I lived in places where plastic bag have been banned. You know what happened ? Nothing. Society did not crumble. People still carry things in bags. Be it paper bag and re-usable fabric bag. ( or even still plastic, but the strong-strong kind )
