    I see this at my local supermarket chains after they received pressure to reduce plastic usage. The exact same plastic bags are in use, except now they have printed on them “REUSABLE PLASTIC BAG”. Such a predictable outcome.

      plastic stickers on supermarket fruit drive me nuts. I think about the cost to the environment from manufacture to disposal. must be a better way?

    In the Netherlands we have trash separation for plastic and empty carton packages from milk ,yoghurt etc. Recently it came out that often 75% is rejected and treated as normal trash. :-/ Why fucking bother if you’re not recycling properly. Bastards.

      A friend of mine works in a garbage burning facility that is used to heat a part of the city. He told me that the more the garbage is separated, the less it burns and they still have to fulfill a quota. So they throw in a lot of glass and other things.
