    I think it would be easier to ignore calls like “let’s ban all bannable single use plastics”, because what would that mean? But yeah I hear you. I always thought “Zero Waste” was a stupid moniker because it’s literally impossible to have no waste. But it probably does succeed in getting people to talk/think about the issue.

      I actually like zero waste. Because waste is a relative term you can apply to situations, is this necessary etc… I think it’s a good banner kind of like reduce reuse recycle.

      Reduce is the first element, because it’s the most important… Zero waste is an extension of that, and reduce single use plastics when able is an extension of that.

      I think a survey would be more interesting if it asked people how many of them are using reusable bags for every single shopping trip, do you keep reusable bags in your car, if you forget a reusable bag do you purchase another one? Things that demonstrate actual human behavior
