Many states and provinces across the US and Canada have been moving towards banning many types of single-use plastics since the early 2000s. Most have started with single-use plastic shopping bags – either charging for their use or banning them altogether. As we look at these bans, we have to ask what\u2019s next and what can each of us do on an individual level? There is still a long way to go.<\/p>\n<\/div>

According to Waste Management US, Americans use 100 billion plastic bags each year. Single-use plastic bags end up in landfills and the ocean, harming birds, sea turtles, fish, and causing toxic microplastics to be consumed through our food and air.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
