> Seeing 5 or 6 plastic bags at once blowing in the wind, down > 99%. I've never seen that. There's no trash on the ground where I live. I hope you picked it up. > What proportion of those plastic bags we banned were "recycled and sugar cane bags"? I have no numbers but probably 80+ percent considering all food chains and the biggest retail stores had made the change many years ago. That's where most of the bags were coming from. The ones you used multiple times when purchasing food, before using it as a garbage bag. > Did it "skyrocket" to more than the number of bags we were producing before? Yes. In the past you bought a recycled plastic bag, used it a couple of times and then disposed it with the garbage such as tampons. Now you buy rolls of imported plastic bags and use them for garbage but since there's no incitament to buy fewer, you stock up when its cheap. With the added benefit that you also have to buy cotton bags that are absolutely terrible for the environment. As a result, the change is being rolled back this year by the government. Everyone have deemed it to be a major failure.
