I feel that stores which ban plastic bags are not really helping with the entire situation. Plastic bags that are obtained after shopping are most often than not, used to line trash bins. If shoppers are not able to get their supply from stores, then they would still buy from an alternate source. Then, how do we really conclude as to how the plastic scene is currently doing?

I'm just interested to see what people are going to do when the governments decide to go ahead to ban Styrofoam and plastic. I'm actually pretty sure that we'll find a way to deal with it if this happens. It doesn't seem like we all suffered too hard in the past when there wasn't such tools around. I mean, what's wrong with drinking right from the rim of the can or the bottle. We'll make do!

nathandavidson - We could make due without cars and cigarettes and alcohol and a thousand other things but that doesn't mean it is a good idea to ban them.

If you start banning things that people like to use for no good reason where do you stop? Will you have the straw police coming around to throw straw users in jail?

Banning straws won't make a bit of difference to the amount of plastic in the oceans and then when you ask people to get behind a plan that really would do some good like increasing the size of marine parks, putting in more gross pollutant traps or reducing contaminated runoff to the oceans, they say no we already tried your ban on straws and it didn't work. Why should we think this new plan would work?
