plastic bag ban

A plastic bag ban is a regulation that prohibits the use, distribution, and sale of single-use plastic bags to reduce environmental pollution. These bags often end up in waterways and ecosystems, harming wildlife and contributing to litter. By banning or restricting their use, communities aim to encourage the adoption of reusable alternatives, decrease plastic waste, and promote sustainable practices. The goal is to protect natural habitats, reduce landfill burden, and foster environmentally responsible behavior among consumers and businesses alike.
