They figured out that a lot of people don't ever bring grocery bags, so they keep buying the reusable bags, and they end up polluting the earth.
There are so many ways we can reduce pollution. Your cell phone could be designed to make the battery last longer, but that isn't as profitable. same for notebook batteries. It's all about profit and greedy people. I live on the ocean. When you see a rich person pull in to a remote anchorage in a mega yacht, running generators 24-7 to power the water maker, lights, toys, etc, and they have this big yacht for 2-4 people, and you see the pollution they create, you realize that's only half of it. They have another big yacht that follows them around with all their toys on it. So many things are made just to be disposable that don't need to be, but it's more profitable that way. They're making cars like cell phones now, designed to last 3-4 years of payments, then get a new one. Until we design things that are good for people, instead of profit, we're doomed.
