TLDR for those paywalled:
Bag fees reduce the number of bags used by about 50%, but this is not enough to offset the higher plastic content in the thicker, sturdier bags currently offered in stores.
There was also concern that fees impact affordability.
Here's SPU talking about the same problem.

Rightfully, the cuts to Medicaid (over 10M people will lose their health care) and the tax cuts for the rich have been the story of the disastrous Republican budget bill.

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.”
This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent.
He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

"Without due process" means "anyone he wants." And if the courts can't enforce the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, it means that as long as Trump can get the plane off the ground before anyone intervenes, he can do it without consequence.
AOC: It’s bone-chilling. Every day, there’s something new. And today, we saw Trump express openness to sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons without due process. It’s anti-American.

Don't forget that 90% of those illegally deported to El Salvador have NO criminal record. Their "mistake" with Kilmar Abrego Garcia wasn't deporting an innocent man, it was deporting an innocent man with court protections. Deporting innocent people is the goal.

Much of that devastation has been done with bombs that the U.S. supplied to the Netanyahu war machine. We are complicit.
