    Plastic bag bans are just recuperation and greenwashing. Plastic bags are not the problem, capitalism is.

      what'd actually work is taxing stores for single-use plastics but noooo only the consumer can eat the costs of going green

        Instead they just banned plastic bags outright and let the stores charge for paper bags as compensation for enforcing the mandate.

        Now that I think about it that is a perfect encapsulation of neoliberalism.
