The stores who supplied the bags are riding on the usual left/green hype and hysteria.
The damage caused by these bags is nothing compared to the over-reach the greens are pushing to make their point.
The truth is that the deaths (of wildlife) caused by plastic is minimal, but when it does happen it is played up by all the marshmellows like the greens and their elk.
Everyone has an agenda.
The greens have to keep making mountains out of mole hills or their cred will quickly wean.
The shops have to keep fine tuning their greed.
Meanwhile the sheeple are all bumping into each other telling each other what a great idea it is to remove plastic from circulation.
The opinion of the few of us with a fully functioning brain and not swayed by politics and emotion, and certainly not part of the pathetic public or sheeple, is that there is and always has been an answer to this so called problem.
It has been around since the invention of plastic, but was not fully accepted by industry, and I don't know why.
Maybe one of you brainiacs can answer this one?
Anyway the solution which has been around for decades is 'degradable' plastic.
It used to be that the very same bags we have been using when shopping at major grocery stores, used to break down almost immediately and within days was just a little smattering of very fragile plastic dust and what fragments were still intact would quickly crumble and disintegrate into dust if any attempt was made to touch or pick them up.
If memory serves, it was the sheeple who complained that the bags were not 'fit for purpose', and so the stores complied by getting the manufacturer to make them more sound thereby complying with the sheeples demands.
So then they could go on to re-use them for another purpose.
Recycle maybe?
Yeah, right.
