this is fantastic, but why is the responsibility of pollution being passed on to consumers when corporations obliterate our environment far more?

We haven't had plastic bags in Canada for a few years. We bring our own reusable bags. It's so nice to not see plastic bags floating around the city now

So you're saying if corporations invested ¢10 per customer they could've made this impact? Imagine if they were taxed!?

We had that in Argentina for about 15 years now, no one wants plastic bags anymore. We love to bring our own bags and carts to the supermarket.

companies who are the ones at fault anyways should be the ones paying for this not consumers who couldn’t have done all this to the planet alone even if they tried

What’s the study? Bc I feel like there’s a big difference between banning something vs charging for it

the "study" on plastic straws was someone giving a random guess on how many straws make it into the ocean. This ain't a common people problem. it's at a corporate, date and national level to solve this without taking away plastic bags
