This is how smart Austin TX is......they have banned plastic bags in all stores, You have to bring your own or buy a reusable one at the store. Let remember all the foods sold in plastic, milk,ketchup, mustard,salad dressing, sodas ect,ect,etc. But all means let's ban the dreaded plastic bag. Haaaa

Plastic shopping bags use very little plastic. Phasing them out is less about reducing plastic usage and more about getting rid of an environmental nuisance that clogs, tangles, etc.

if a straw makes it from Kansas to a sea turtle that was a divine plan.

I am not against reducing plastic waste but I just go back from Disney and the paper straws are a fricking nightmare.

Unless you live within a hundred miles of the coast, there’s little chance any of your trash makes it to the ocean, even by accident.

Virtually all US garbage goes to a landfill. We are shitty at a lot of things, but the United States does a great job taking care of consumer trash.
