What about the buildup of microdebris in dumps?<p>You throw away a plastic bag, which is 100% legal btw, you create a long-term effect.<p>If you outlaw the disposal of plastic bags, how the hell do you enforce this regime? Do you hire a bunch of police officers to dig through people&#x27;s garbage, and then fine people whenever they find a plastic-bag in the mix? I mean... yeah... I guess that&#x27;s fair. But this is a very unrealistic system.<p>From a practicality point of view, a $0.05 bag tax seems damn fair.
