So how much plastic pollution do bags actually cause?

depends on who u ask

some will say that a drop of oil can polute acres of sea

or a drop of semen can fertilize a country.

but those don't actually happen in real life.

so the answer to your question can be little to very polluting (a bag requires more than a drop of oil), depend on what you believe.

I was hoping for a more quantifiable answer like X tons of plastic compared to total plastic pollution.
