That’s going to go over about as well as the “no plastic bags” rule. Sadly.

I think the plastic bag ban had its hiccups in the beginning but everyone has adjusted. A plastic straw ban might get the ptichforks out though.

I noticed recently that McDonalds went from having paper cups and plastic straws to plastic cups and paper straws. WT actual F?

A lot of places are still using plastic bags, especially restaurants for take out.

They're legally allowed to.

Right, so it’s not a complete ban just like with the straws.

Huh? I’m not even disagreeing with you.. just clarifying my first comment. It’s a ban with loopholes so I think they’re comparable.

Yeah, some people just buy new bags every time, and still buy garbage bags, so it’s more wasteful in that case.

I try to reuse mine as much as possible but now with Target delivery they just buy the plastic bags and I can’t do anything about it. Wish they had paper bags, as least that can easily be put back into a tree (composting then fertilizing).
