Maybe I move in the wrong circles, but we banned both plastic shopping bags and plastic straws in New Zealand, and I don’t hear anyone complaining about it. Everyone I know uses paper bags (from the online supermarket deliveries) to line their bins.
It’s not plastic bags and straws that make it to the landfill that are the problem - it’s the ones that don’t make it to the landfill. I haven’t seen a plastic bag stuck in a tree for years!
