Sounds wonderful.
Then you notice that most people use those shopping bags to put their trash in. Banning shopping bags would lead to people going out and buying black trash bags. So instead of reducing waste you actually end up with moving it around. Or worse you end up with more waste.
The problem in Naples isn't the trash produced. It's no plan to get rid of what's produced. Reducing the trash produced just slows the growth of the pile. You still need to move the pile.
Of course they could turn on the power plant they built and burn the trash. Reducing the amount of oil being imported at the same time.
