Probably way more that it cost to get the resources to make them, produce them, and ship them. (any numbers on what the actual cost is?)

Have you ever come across any conservative left? That would actually be interesting.
Oh joy! That's wonderful! ;0)

I guarantee a couple of decades from now we will go right back to paper bags are destroying the rainforest again perpetuating this endless cycle of leftist ideology.

Conservative left? I feel a better term is centre-left.
Good job evading the question btw

Wanna chose to make and use asbestos in your paint? Too bad. You don't have the freedom to choose that. We ban many things, especially chemicals, because they are too destructive (often to the point of infringing on the rights and reasonable health expectations of others, just as plastic bags do). You non-existent "freedom to choose" be damned.

Well, I guess that’s the thing about the left; see a problem, try to help out; analyze how it’s working; if it’s not working well, then adapt and overcome. This technique is used by winning businesses too.
It sure seems to work a heck of a lot better than cowering and stagnating in conservative unchanging traditions, for no other reason than......”that’s just the way it is, so don’t ask questions!”
As a card carrying citizen of the state of New York, I am proud of our state government for taking this good step forward, joining California, Hawaii, as well as several large cities throughout the nation that have recognized the problem plastic bags are causing, and are brave and intelligent enough to do something about it.

This was 9 years ago. Odds are it has increased. Plastic is cheap and convienent but bad for the environment. We can do better than that.
In 2010, eight million tons, twenty two thousand tons per day, of plastic trash ended up in the ocean from coastal countries.

Like a lot of socialist leftist policies and laws and what comes of them.

And there you are again, calling the entire left socialist. Do you even know what socialist means?
I can play your game too, ya know.

Sounds like a great natural resource to exploit.
Converting Plastic to Oil
I doubt we'll ever see something like that come to the Socialist People's Republic of New York.
The Socialist People's Republic of New York only care about banning, controlling people, and taxing people.

You won't mind it and you won't miss seeing plastic bags flying and floating around.

I've read on this before. Its worth a try.
- The conversion ratio for waste plastic into fuel averages 86%.
- Approximately 1 gallon of fuel is extracted from 8.3 lbs. of plastic.
- The processor uses its own off-gases as fuel (approximately 10-12% of process output); minimal energy is required to run the machine.
- Approximately 2-4% of the resulting product is Petcoke (Carbon Black), a high BTU fuel.
- Emissions are lower than a natural gas furnace of similar size, and the quality of the emissions improve with increased feed rates.

"Natural resource?" Is it "natural resource" or "plastic" you don't understand?

Those numbers have gotten better. Last time I seen anything like that, it took so much plastic that it really wasn't feasible to collect the oil for any commercial applications (or any applications, really).
The issue of collecting plastic in the ocean is, is that it's in the ocean. We can easily enough get to just some of it. Most of it would be too costly and difficult to get. Some of it there is no getting. Some is better than none, but I have to wonder if it would be a viable solution to solving the problem of all the plastic in the ocean. Unfortunately, we'll probably all be eating plastic when we eat ocean-fish for the very long foreseeable future.

I bought my wife a leather tote bag for shopping, AOC would be so proud of us for doing our part with helping eliminate some cow's environmentally destructive farting. ...
