In landfills, plastic bags take millennia to decompose.
Globally, about 1 million plastic shopping bags are distributed per minute, yet only 1% are recycled. But good substitutes are readily available!

Sarnosky reported that the single stream recycling was encouraged by the industry. Now China is refusing shipments due to contaminated loads. Mr. Stood reported that there is presently a bill in process at the state level that would ban plastic bags. He offered a list of countries, states and large cities that have banned plastic bags altogether. Is there any other method besides a fee that will change peoples behavior? Mr.
