    I have seen endless reports like this from every news source, labs, you name it. The reality is plastics have to be banned. Period. Only then can any of this work pay off.

        Plastics aren’t just shopping bags. Plastics are used in clothing, machinery, solid state electronics, literally everywhere. You can’t just ban a material that’s been essential to the world economy for the past century, you have to replace it with something

        California finally did it for plastic bags other states have done it as well. Nationwide plastic bags and single use bottles need to be banned.
