Good. And I hope its a big one! Single use plastic is a horrible waste and environmental disaster. Everyone has been schooled to think it's ok cause it can just be recycled but thats not true. Just about all ends up in the landfill, even the plastic recycling by municipalities most goes to the dump. ( I refuse to believe that for the longest time but have friends in high places that have shown me) Costs to clean and recycle are too high compared to new material.
This is not like the carbon tax, there is no alternative for fossil fuels. Plastic is overused and there are many alternative choices for materials, glass, wood, metals or even higher quality reusable plastics.
Children's toys and their packaging are about the worst offenders in my mind.
