I think plastic bags should be not be banned but discouraged to use. People need to just be educated about it because otherwise they don't understand the problem. The factories that make the bags can start making reusable cotton bags so they won't go out of business. Eventually no one would want to used plastic bags so it we wouldn't have to force anyone to do anything

I believe that plastic bags should be banned in the US but the impact would be insignificant. Until scientist discover a solution to aid in the decomposition of plastic I do not think banning them would make an impact.

plastic bags shouldn't be banned because we can reuse them over 100 times and we should bio degrade them ourselves

The debate over weather or not we should go plastic bag free could go either way. Going plastic bag free could be negative because it would take 75 years of using a cotton reusable bag for it to be effective. It could be positive because the plastic would stay out of the oceans and lakes and native wild life would mistake the garbage for food.

I think plastic bags shouldn't be banned but it's a big problem in lakes and needs to be solved.

I think that we should not ban plastic bags, but instead we should put more effort into recycling the bags. Banning plastic bags right now would be very unrealistic, but if we had more spots for people to go to recycle the bags, we would not have such a big problem on our hands.

I think the plastic bag ban should be put into play. When plastic bags are not recycled the majority of them end up in the ocean. By 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean according to protections from scientists.

Banning Plastic Bags is good. Plastic bags bad for earth.  Animals in the ocean would rather die than eat our trash. So yeah let's save this planet by not being stupid.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should ban plastic bags because so much of it finds its way into the ocean. With as much plastic thats in the ocean already, marine widlife will die due to the consumption of the plastic. There is too much platic in the ocean right now

I think that we should ban plastic bags in WI. Plastic takes a very long time to biodegrade so the plastic that gets in our lakes and oceans stays there for a very long time. In this time it can kill fish, collect oils, and destroy the food chain.
