    The issue isn’t only the carbon footprint of creating them. It’s what happens to them end of life.

    Not everyone used plastic bags as garbage bags and many of them just got thrown in the trash. Many of them also ended up in the environment.

    On the whole I can’t imagine plastic bags were used more than 1.1 times each. But I would love to see an actual number for this if anyone has one.
