Even if a plastic bag ends up in the proper recycling, along its way every single wrinkle and crease has spread microplastics. I know it's an uphill battle but we don't have to make it worse.

The question is how much microplastic has been produced for farming the cotton and turning it into a bag? These problems are impossible for consumers to analyze.

  Or the nylon craze? I know it's an uphill battle but we can at least move in the right direction. Or do you suggest we just give up?

    I suggest we don't put the burden on the individual consumer, because that won't work. For systemic problems you need systemic solutions.

      It's not a burden.
