We can help save the planet by banning plastic bags, and using cloth bags instead. | Cloth bags carry disease, takes hundreds (or thousands) of uses to hit break-even, but they break down after about ≈50 uses. Bans did nothing but steal liberty, spread disease, and hurt the planet. |
Plastic Bag Bans are Anti-Science so the left loves them:
- If you outlaw plastic bags, some people buy their own plastic bags (which are thicker and worse)
- If you replace plastic bags with cloth bags, then you increase diseases/illness: food born illnesses went up after bag bans.
- If you don't wash after every use, you create a breeding ground for bacteria. If you do wash after every use, then cloth bags fall apart.
- It takes between 131 - 20,000 uses of cloth bags before you hit environmental break-even on a single cloth bag (double that if you recycle plastic bags). But they only last ≈50 washes max.
Since you can never hit break-even, reusable bags are bad for the environment, it's bad for people (sickness), and it's bad for liberty: which is the real reason why the left loves it so. It teaches conformity over common sense. It's another litmus test for who is a gullible rube follower, and lets them hunt out free thinkers and thus threats to their agenda.
