Paper bags and plastic bags.. Please.
I remember when paper bags were banned because they were bad for the environment and replaced with plastic. Now we have oceans full of plastic. Could this be foreshadowing of replacing ICE vehicles with EVs before fully understanding the impact?
I wonder which is worse for the environment (I'll concur on plastic): paper bags or virtually everyone of little league age or older having a cell phone, gaming console, computer, and tablet that is manufactured and replaced cyclically every couple of years?

Exactly. All we do is continue to consume and feels like there isn't much choice in the matter. The system is setup to keep making money. At least that is the case in the US. Makes me want to watch the movie "Don't Look Up" on Netflix as it is a great satire of US consumption despite the planet.
