Yah its misguided, I do a fair number of park&#x2F;etc cleanups. The old school ultra thin bags break down really fast in the environment when exposed to UV. Most of the time, when I tried to pick one up they simply disintegrated into powder. Plastic drink bottles OTOH, those things are everywhere and seem to last forever.<p>Just over the past few years the heavier reusable (mostly plastic) bags are starting to show up everywhere now, and they don&#x27;t seem to break down as fast. I have yet to see any of them in any state of decomposition.
