#3Is there a good substitute for cling wrap?
I mostly store food in reusable containers. And I try to use foil as much as possible. But some things are irregularly shaped and need a tight seal, and I’ve struggled to find a good alternative.

#4The only exception is people that know the consequences on their every-day life.

Slightly larger reusable containers?
There are also plenty of varieties of reusable ziploc-style bag out there, including ones in jumbo sizes.

#6Just because people say that doesn't mean they'll actually want it in practice.
As well, asking people how important they think something is may not equate to their support for sweeping legislation.

#7I’m someone that wouldn’t mind seeing single use plastics go the way of the dodo bird but 1) you should never trust issue polling even within a single country and 2) given that, I would trust it even less when the polling is “global”.

There are beeswax based resuable clingwrap alternatives although I haven't tried them myself
