Shopping bag resource consumption comparision


Article the BBC had about plastic bags.  Reusing the type of plastic bags which are now banned in many places in fact is far less resource consumptive than alternative types of bags like paper or cotton.

But the bags are getting banned because apparently most people don’t reuse them and also apparently large amounts of them end up getting littered.  Its inconceivable to me how anyone could litter a plastic bag.  Maybe the real problem is too many humans?
