Stench: "Airborne diseases are no joke." Masks dont stop viruses.. They can stop larger particles like pollen or dust. Viruses nope. To stop viruses they have to seal completely ( then they are a respirator) and also have filtration that can stop the viruses. Nobody wears those

inconvenience = The horror, the horror... sheech

So you want studies? How?

I haven't used a new plastic bag for years. I know many others. So you are contending that there is no demonstrable effect reducing trash when millions, maybe billions of people reuse bags instead of using a new bag?

You need a study to find out if this trivially simple inconvenience is going to leave a better world in the face of mountains of plastic trash in the oceans and micro plastics now spread everywhere? Oil rigs & refineries despoiling land all over the world.

For me its just one thing I do to leave a better world, among a bunch of trivially easy things.

For you these things seem to be agonizing.

A lot of trivial things seem to be ruining your life, poor baby!!! You remind me of people I see putting bananas in a plastic bag, then onto another plastic bag. The horror of a banana sans bag!!!

I think part of the plastic ban is all the stuff that ends up in our oceans not just land fills
