Also, there are some studies that show that banning plastic bags does not improve the environment. I think people should be allowed to make their own decisions. So, I am not in favor of a new state law.
People don't always make good choices. When your choice only impacts you, fine. When your choice negatively impacts your neighbor, community, state, country, planetary environment, you don't get to choose. And you should not be surprised.
