I find the closing remarks around the banning of single-use plastic bags troubling - surely there are much more beneficial areas to target to reduce our overall use of plastic? Within each of these plastic bags full of supermarket groceries is likely anywhere from 5-20 other items caked in plastic packaging. How much of an impact is banning single use plastic bags, even globally, going to make really? Not saying that I'm against the banning of them, but shouldn't bans be extending much further across other products. The single-use plastic bag seems like such a low-hanging fruit, easy-win, that in my mind will make a negligible difference
