At the very least I think it's a reasonable goal to require that plastics not be used for single-use items. Plastic is a fantastic material for reusable items of sorts, but it doesn't belong in a single-use drink cup, food container, or bag, until we have the technology to truly recycle it and the law enforcement to require that said recycling happen. Execution is important. I've been seeing so much fuss about banning plastic straws but no fuss about the cup. I frequently see drinks in plastic cups with paper straws. Completely backwards.
