When they banned single use plastic bags in New Jersey it increased the amount of plastic in use [1].

Starbucks straw less lids use more plastic than the old lid ands straw. With a lot of them ending up in the trash instead of recycling, it may not be a net benefit.

The changes being made aren’t having quite the impact people had hoped.
