    Here in Canada we banned single use plastic grocery bags. Now we’re seeing an epidemic of reusable grocery bags that people only use once. People have closets full of these things and some are starting to dump them in the landfill. Meanwhile we continue seeing overwhelming amounts of single use plastic in the food packaging and other consumer goods.

      Yeah, we had a similar issue with plastic bags. Trouble is, when you ban one thing it creates a new demand, which isn’t always better.
