Attention, Cuomo the lesser:
Going without disposable plastic entirely would leave us worse off, so we need to tackle the problems without losing all of the benefits.
The simplest action for consumers is to ensure that plastic is collected and used, so a grocery bag, for example, has a second life as a trash bag, and is then used for energy.
You see, I remember when the enviro wackjobs were telling us that paper bags were killing off trees and that was the big problem and plastic bags were the solution.
