You could also put in about the same amount of effort and do something much more environmentally conscious at the expense of being less childishly subversive. I guess you’ve gotta decide if that tradeoff is worth it.
"Manufacturing a paper bag takes about four times as much energy as it takes to produce a plastic bag"
"Studies have shown that, for a paper bag to neutralize its environmental impact compared to plastic, it would have to be used anywhere from three to 43 times."

Bringing up the harms of a paper bag is not really pertinent.
eg. hyper efficient slow as molasses dishwashers are such a pain to use they prompt people to hand wash instead of using a dishwasher, which uses noticeably more water than somewhat more wasteful, but fast and effective dishwashers do. The EPA doesn't care.
Then to top it off you have billionaires like Taylor Swift who uses their private jets to fly a 15 minute trip instead of taking a 25 minute car ride.
Give it another 50 years and the little guy will need to be eating bugs to be environmentally conscious while the people on top still do exactly what they did before.
