YMMV - I clean up trash in my neighborhood and I still see reusable bags littered everywhere.
They are just so much heavier that they don't blow around in the wind as much and are durable enough that they get bogged down. So they end up in the bottom of puddles and packed around in undergrowth. It doesn't help that they are also much darker. Them being less noticeable is not necessarily a good thing overall.
Keeping in mind a reusable bag has an order of magnitude more material in them, so even one of them contributes more plastic pollution than 5-6 crappy ones.
Either ban plastics altogether or incentivize tote loaning or something. But the 8c "reusable disposable" bag is a complete sham.
