So, Mexico City went ahead and banned single-use plastics back in 2026. I gotta say, what really gets me about this whole thing is how it ties into sustainability. I mean, it's pretty cool to see how cities are actually changing their rules to protect the environment.
Honestly, what I didn't see coming was how big the effort to make people follow the new rules would be. I think getting everyone on board is the biggest thing they need to focus on right now. It's one thing to say no more plastic, but it's another to get folks to actually switch to reusable stuff and change their habits. Will people switch to reusable shopping bags, food containers, and water bottles? I think the biggest challenges comes down to making sure alternatives are easily available and affordable. Businesses might have to rethink how they package things, and individuals would need to make a conscious effort to change their routines.
At the end, I really do think this ban will make a real difference in how people in Mexico City shop and consume things. It might be a bit of a change, but it feels like a needed step to fix this planet.
