@FloorGenAdm most of the companies that send bills these days don’t have the plastic windows in them.

It's same as the plastic straw deal. No this isn't an industry problem it's a consumption one and we're the bad guys.
Yeah plastic use is Extremely Bad but this kind of consumers-are-to-blame attitude completely skips the fact that shit like tires and synthetic textiles are the source of most microplastics and -that- is a question of what we're producing and in what quantities and how we deal with the waste.

A lot of plastic "reduction" is indeed done by transporting it to the supermarket in the exact same way as before but ripping some off before putting the products on the shelves. That obviously doesn't help at all.
As for bags: we used to get a plastic bag everywhere without asking if we needed one, even when buying one item, just so we'd carry their logo around. Now that we need to pay, stores ask first and most people decline, so that's a good development. But it's ridiculous that payment was needed to accomplish that.

@caccoon true. All that individually wrapped produce that could easily have been delivered in just crates, candy that's double or triple wrapped in the shelves and probably a few more times before, single use bottles that are crushed when returned instead of washed and refilled like before, ...
But sure, ban plastic straws while still allowing plastic cups, plastic lids and plastic wrappers for paper straws. 🙄

@cherokeepatti those still exist and I buy them instead of the plastic ones
I am talking like less useful packaging, like the stuff that's formed around the product. I don't know what you'd call it. Like the ones that would form around, say a videogame controller. Completely useless for anything else
