To the Editor:

In a recent article (“Another Plastic Bag Ban Opponent Speaks Out,” 4/18), one resident thinks we could live without banning plastic shopping bags while acknowledging, “not that I think littering with plastic bags is appealing or attractive or desirable.” While plastic litter is unattractive and undesirable, that is not reason enough to ban plastic bags.

However, The problem with plastic is much, much bigger. Once it is made, it doesn’t go away.
