but i want to be clear about what i'm saying.

a ban on plastic will fail. horribly. it's a waste of time because it's a stupid approach that has no end point besides not managing to accomplish anything at all. if you ban straws and forks, people will just smuggle them back in; people aren't going to keep metal forks or metal straws in their cars, they'll just buy plastic shit in the states and bring it back.

and, what are you going to do when you catch people with plastic they smuggled in from the states? put them in jail? tie up the court systems?

do you think the cops will enforce this?

it's not enforceable; it's moronic, it won't work and we need better ideas than this.
