Thought bag fees would cut plastic waste? Turns out, it’s messier than we thought. In Washington, banning thin bags and charging for thicker ones slashed bag numbers, but the new bags are so chunky that total plastic use actually went up 17%! People forget to reuse them, so they just pile up at home (sound familiar?). The real fix? Actually reusing bags—like, a lot. Otherwise, we’re just paying more for more plastic. Wild, right? #Health #BodyHealth #PlasticWaste
