Why do people only ever talk about the carbon footprint when plastic bans are discussed?

To remind people they pollute in multiple ways, and reducing one way might increase the other way.

However I’ve never seen a good comparison of the relative severity, only opinion. Is the apple worse for the environment , or the orange?

As I've said before, why not try to reduce both?

And let's be honest: Whenever someone post a sarcastic 'good thing we banned plastic straws' under a topic about CO2 emissions, they're not doing it as a good faith argument that one pollution might avoid the other.
