Plastic Bag Policies Have An Effect
https://theness.com/neurologicablog/plastic-bag-policies-have-an-effect/
Plastic waste is a growing problem, with around 430 million tons produced annually, much of which ends up in our oceans. A recent study shows that policies targeting single-use plastic bags can help reduce waste, but while they slow the increase, plastic waste continues to rise overall. Effective solutions require a mix of individual action, corporate responsibility, and robust government policies. There’s potential for change, especially with reusable bags and better recycling systems. If we want real progress, we need informed, evidence-based regulations that balance environmental needs with industry practicality.
