It's only when something is gone that you realize how much you used it!! Case in point... plastic grocery bags. Our city passed a bylaw this past year that banned plastic shopping bags. The provincial and federal governments are not far behind... soon it will be the law of the land.
Yes... absolutely true! But then we have to think of what they have been replaced with too. I did a post a few years back that looked at the environmental impact of various shopping bag options (plastic, paper, reusable, canvas). It was a bit of an eye-opener... particularly the environmental cost of paper bags. And let's not even mention canvas or cotton bags!
