Plastic bag bans and fees reduce harmful bag litter on shorelines

I know these types of comments are frowned upon here, but I find it really sad that posts about video game sales, for example, have many more upvotes than a post about positive efforts to reduce plastic waste. It shows where priorities and interests lie for the majority.

I comment like this because I understand that the struggle is not only to stop this kind of waste--and on a larger scale the environmental destruction of our planet--but also to engage and motivate the public at large to want to make these changes.

"Let's ban everything that could be remotely harmful" is the way to further rampant authoritarianism, not that we aren't already on that path...
