"we all seem to hoard a stash of plastic bags in our kitchens, so let’s cut that out and recycle them properly, making the switch to sturdy reusable options for good."

Riiight....
How about you just use them until they wear out... THEN "recycle" them and switch to reusable ones...

Plastic water bottles: "...recycle them and invest in a high-quality, reusable bottle. It’s better for the planet and your wallet,"

So again - throw away something that you could use and wear out, and BUY something new is somehow better for the planet?

What a load of bollocks.
