I can’t believe what is ultimately slightly more than paragraph on the subject gained so many points in HN. The point is not to ban plastic bags but to limit pollution which has been largely unsuccessful when it comes to bag bans. Fabric and “multi-use” bags have to be used 100+ times to show any environmental benefit over regular plastic bags. Studies have shown that, the thicker bags people have to buy end up being used just a couple of times. So while yes, people are using less plastic bags, the environmental impact has either remained unchanged or gotten worse.
