I made a comment to my girlfriend just yesterday! I noted that there aren't as plastic bags on the roadsides. I noticed in my region, litter is not nearly as abundant pre-bag ban. Just goes to show, a substantial portion of the NJ population will fight against their best interests. Glad the State government isn't caving to these folks.

Maybe people are just aren’t being scumbags and littering as much…nah lol. The bag ban is a joke. There are so many plastic products that make just as much of an impact or more but infringe on human convenience too much.

How is it a joke? Plastic bags are an easy thing to eliminate and it has been successful so far.

It's a positive step forward and hopefully more will single use plastics will be eliminated in the future. It's just 1 example, but not long ago Costco stopped selling apples in a plastic clamshell and now use a cardboard box.
