ps- sorta ot but this whole ca drought issue is prettty similar in a lot of the ways. everyone is always trying to work small to big on environmental issues. or any issues for that matter. And that is just retarded. in reality like 90%+ of water use is agriculture and corporations and govt mismanage (evaporation etc). we have exports on things like raisins and alfalfa whic h we have massive stores of and companies like nestle exporting straight water. its all about money and the civilians even in100% mass cant dent the problem. | ||

I think there are valid arguments but I also think that Chmurphlie, you didn't even try. I buy allegedly biodegradable (lol probably not) bags for trash and reusable foldable bags for carrying shit. Saving the world. GG | ||

Rereading your arguments won't make them any better tbh. If you don't feel like legislation does it right, maybe do your own thing instead of reverting to "stocking up" plastic to plastic bags the second you can. This whole ordeal feels super juvenile. I migrated away from plastic bags myself when they forced the businesses to charge 5 cents for them and found it it was not at all inconvenient. If your arguments 2 years later still revolve around how people will still just buy plastic bags, everyone I know uses reusable bags now. When I go do the groceries, 90% of the people carry their stuff to their car with reusable bags. Kids have foldable lunchboxes instead of bringing their food in plastic bags. All they did was make them cost a negligible amount of money while repeater "don't get plastic bags" over and over and everybody suddenly found out that plastic bags suck for most of the things they're used for anyway. In your words: "Most importantly, People are not going to have the excess bags laying around their house anymore and are going to need to buy little trash bags to use for their little trash cans now" Why would you want people to read your arguments MarlieChurphy? They've got numbers showing a steep decline in the use of plastic bags that were reused not because they were needed but because they were so widely available from being produced in absolutely ridiculous quantity. If the lack of free plastic bags is inconveniencing you to the point where you need to make a thread where you build yourself some bonkers, weak arguments, perhaps you're just not the kind of people who can change their ways. Perhaps you're just bound to be old school. It takes humility to admit you've been doing something wrong. We've moved on in my town. You're stocking up on plastic bags. Think about it. | ||

Btw bags are still around and grocery stores have the thicker ones everyone trashes just the same, and i just buy boxes from work for 3c a bag.

Look at this: What you see here is what happens to most of your garbage. The problem with plastics is that they are not biodegradable and now are going to be sitting as trash for the duration of our entire lives, our children's lives, and their children's lives. This is making beautiful beaches look horrible and is killing people and animals. | ||

So no, most of my garbage does not end up in the ocean. We have a system here where we put trash, compost, and recycles into bins. And once a week we pay taxes so dudes in cool trucks take them to be processed, repurporsed, or buried. Nice try | ||

Im not saying pollution isnt a problem, but this regime of banning shit small to big is a con. Not to mention most of the plastics out there come from major polluters that arent the western world.

Nice try 95% of plastic waste in the oceans comes from just 10 rivers, all either in Africa or Asia, stuff like banning straws and plastic bags is a complete joke. | ||

An estimated 111 million metric tons of plastic waste will be displaced by 2030 as a result of China’s recent ban on the import of most plastic waste, according to new research. That decision means the U.S. and other industrialized countries that have been exporting their plastic waste to China for "recycling" will need to find new ways to handle the disposal of their trash as much of it is already starting to pile up in landfills. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/06/21/china-ban-plastic-waste-recycling/721879002/ | ||

That doesn't mean we shouldn't lead the way in trying to reduce our own pollution so we don't contribute to that whole mess. | ||
