 Remember when Cali passed a law to restrict plastic bags used in grocery stores so companies just made them thicker to bypass the law which doubled plastic waste from grocery bags and it took YEARS to close the loophole? Hehe…yeah

Oregon has both a plastic bag ban AND a bag fee when you use the paper ones. Which I think is simply too much. Pick one, Oregon. You cannot have both.

Lowkey agree. The best incentive will always be financial. You want people to make the best choice? Make it the cheapest. Free paper bags (which is pretty standard in coastal towns where I’m at) ACTUALLY FUCKING WORKS!!!!!!! PEOPLE LIKE IT WHEN ITS FREE
