Meanwhile, I bet that Cowboys stadium gets fill about 100x/day by the packaging from actual groceries. Like plastic margerine containers, and yogurt containers, and styrofoam from meat, and the plastic around each little pizza pop.
And the two barrels of oil to make the two square feet of super plastic that that holds the $15 flash drive. And all that plastic gets only one use. 15 times thicker, and only used once.

Wow! They use two barrels of oil to package a 15$ flash drive? That's gotta be like 200 bucks on packaging alone. Crazy. Who subsidizes all that packaging? Taxpayers, no doubt.
Other than that, you make a good point -- why get rid of plastic shopping bags if you aren't going to completely alter society?
