It makes so much sense.

Single use > than reusing.

This is why coal is so much cheaper than solar. Oh.

There is so much cherry picking here they could make a pie.

Energy use to make a cotton bag is greater than a plastic bag, ignoring any other metric, therefore we should just throw everything in the landfill because who reuses a bag more than once???

A lot of people it turns out.

Greenwashing is certainly a problem, but it's almost always "recycling" programs for plastics they can't recycle. See chip/crisp bags for example.
