Governor Of California PANICS As Plastic Bag Ban EXPOSED For Making Pollution WORSE!

Описание: Governor Of California PANICS As Plastic Bag Ban EXPOSED For Making Pollution WORSE!
California just banned plastic bags. Again. For the second time in ten years. And the reason they had to do it again reveals one of the most embarrassing policy failures in the state's history.
In 2014 California became the first state in America to ban single-use plastic bags. Politicians celebrated. Environmental groups declared victory. The governor called it a landmark achievement for the planet.
There was just one problem. The ban made plastic pollution worse. Not a little worse. Forty seven percent worse. The state that pioneered the plastic bag ban ended up producing more plastic bag waste than before the ban even existed.
This video breaks down exactly how California's celebrated environmental policy backfired so spectacularly. We cover the loophole that plastic bag companies exploited. Why thicker bags created more waste than thinner ones. How the same failure happened in New Jersey with three times more plastic consumption. And why the new ban that just took effect on January first might fail for entirely different reasons.
