Coming from a country that did this ages ago for stupid reasons.
Wait until they come for your straws. Cutting down trees for paper bags I can deal with but fucking paper straws (Mcdonalds im looking at you) is god awful.
Edit: downvoters getting sour about the paper bags consuming trees is a reality and cost of shifting resources.

Policy change requires constructive thought, critical thought to test, and balance (not always but considered) to get the best outcome.
