I reuse plastic bags for trash. It's really messed up to ban it.

Yeah my overall plastic waste increase substantially when they banned plastic because now I can't reuse the plastic bags as trash bin liners, so I have to buy more bags. And the reusable are something you have to haul around with you, take up trunk space and therefore waste gas. And they use something like a thousand bags worth of plastic and water to create one of those stupid reusable bags and they don't even last that long. Most are wrecked after a few uses. It's so bad that I use those things in my trunk to wrap up stuff instead, like if I'm taking my skis out I'll wrap my ski poles. Or use them as a floor for the trunk to carry something dirty.
It also means you can't easily walk to a grocery store anymore, you have to know ahead of time and bring bags with you.
