The point isn't to reduce plastic use. It's to reduce the amount of plastics that end up in our waterways and the ocean. If everyone was reusing their plastic bags as waste bags... even if people who used plastic bags just threw them away, this wouldn't be an issue at all. The point of this is people don't throw them away, and they tend to end up as litter that ends up in storm drains or in Coastal California, just blow into the ocean. It makes perfectly good sense to want to ban plastic grocery bags in coastal states and keep them in inland states.
