Topic: The plastic bag tax is wrong because I can't use them in my bins anymore

Actual argument
The point being that bin bags are larger and so more plastic is wasted per empty than if used with a plastic bag
My objection is that it's irrelevant how much plastic gets used for rubbish because first of all those bags are mostly designed to be at least somewhat biodegradable and they're also a lot thicker and will keep hold of their rubbish.
Also that assumes that people don't use their abundance of bags in other ways, mostly by being thrown away themselves where they tend to get out of their carrier bag carrier bag and blow away into the street or ocean where they kill animals etc, or by being littered which makes the place looks disgusting why does everyone seem to litter in this country nobody cares urgh I've been to America and streets look awesome there with no trash an all
Also if you actually recycle properly you don't have to throw away a black bin bag worth of trash every week anyway what the fuck

It really depends where you go. There are some pretty shitty looking places. There are nice places, but there are some really shitty looking places.

If you make it easy to recycle, people will. Everyone recycles here because you don't have to sort your recyclables, just put them all out together...also someone will come to collect all ur empties to trade for cash.
