This was a very predictable result, correctly predicted by climate activists 10 years ago that were shouted down by the grocer lobbies and the faux greenwashing climate "activists" that accused them of stopping "progress". It was so easy to see: - meaningless 5 cent bag surcharge that no one would notice other than the initial outrage, and not enough to fund anything meaningful about plastic waste removal at scale - much heavier plastic bags - no incentive for consumer behavior to change Like, what else did they expect other than plastic waste to increase?
