The clear exploitation of the COVID-19 crisis by the plastics industry merits the attention of California leaders. 
Plastics industry is
exploiting the crisis
Re: “Did drop in gas revenue spur reusable bag bans?” (Letter to the editor, Eastbaytimes.com, May 8):
Thank you, Leslie Pahl, for your wise comments in your letter to the editor on the new distribution of single-use plastic bags. As observed, there have been no documented cases of COVID-19 transmission via a reusable grocery bag.
We should call the obvious exploitation of the current crisis by the plastics industry to the attention of our state representatives.
Like the letter-writer, I just wheel my groceries to the car and bag them there.
Recently I read that plastic production is expected to more than triple by 2050.What is this world coming to? Whatever it is, I anticipate it’ll be wrapped in plastic.
