I remember a debate in Texas politics a few years ago because livestock were dying from consumption of littered plastic bags.
The state government response was to ban the ban of plastic bags.

CA did the wrong thing for like 12 years. We just finally went back to paper bags for everything. If it ends up on a road, it won't kill animals, it will eventually break apart and turn into particulates. It's what we did before plastic bags rained from the sky into all grocery stores. And the best part: if you have permanent bags you can still use them.
This seems very specific. Can you explain more? I don't follow.
There's [very] biodegradable plastics as well. I found out my local store swapped to them in a pretty amusing way. I'd collect plastic bags to use as trash bags and the like. One day I went to grab some from under my counter there was this mess of orange confetti like stuff everywhere from some of the [orange] bags that'd degraded even in just normal storage conditions.
How fast do these "[very] biodegradable plastics" degrade? Probably not as fast a wind gust can trap them in trees, or livestock can accidentally injest them.

Anything to own the libs.
They also banned fracking bans in Denton. Then on other occasions they tout politics of "local voters know what's best for themselves".
Apparently they want to have it both ways, like spoiled children.
