The larger issue is that the bags break down into small fragments and find their way into our and marine food systems. How one can quantify the impact of that is beyond my limited skills.

It's an important consideration but not a "larger issue" I'd say. I think it's easy to quantify (you just do systematic testing of water samples) and intervention upstream of the waste flow doesn't seem that hard. But the bs I wanted to flag relates to carbon impact myths.

Glad to know that my baggu-style bags are reasonably friendly for the environment at the rate that I end up using them.

How many reusable bags have been found in the bellies of whales, seabirds and the like?
