Steven Greenhut Says Feel-Good Plastic Bag Bans Cost You

Steven Greenhut takes issue
with the term “single use” plastic bags, given that most of us
reuse these light, cheap bags we now get — to dispose of cat
litter, to curb the dog during walks, to line our wastebaskets. And
yet, supporters of new legislation in California want to force
consumers to shift to using the reusable bags. He cites a
recent Reason Foundation study, highlighting that these activists
don’t account for the energy use needed to clean the heavier
types of bags and that consumers are unlikely to reuse them enough
to pay for their additional costs, among several other
issues.
