Ha ha..
I know we're supposed to, but I've not changed one bit because of these new bags. A typical shop is now 1$ more expensive with the bags, that's where I stop thinking about it.
When I'm out, and my wife calls me to ask me to pick up something at the shop, I don't have my plastic bag with me, so I buy another one. And it ends up in the bin. Now instead of a thin bit of plastic, I've got a bag that's easily 5 times thicker, and took way more to produce.
It's performative.
- bombcar 3y agoThe stores in CA where plastic bags were banned now have insanely THICKER plastic bags they charge you some small amount for, and they claim are reusable. They are really thick, almost as nice as hardware store bags, but they all get thrown away. They should have require a standardized bag/crate with deposit that you would use instead, make it durable enough and people would bring it back or just throw it on the sidewalk and enterprising youths could collect them for the deposit.
