I think a big contributor to our climate and our polluted oceans is plastic. Plastic is constantly used as a one time use item. So how can we help turn plastics into multi use items? One way is by reusing our plastic bags so we don't have to buy more of them. Using a container to store them is one of the best ways to reuse, and stop pollution that I have found.

This is true, and I think a way California has helped is now they charge for using plastic bags in stores. However, completely reusing would be extremely hard to do, reusable things like metal water bottles can be quite expensive compared to the plastic water bottle alternative.

Although I agree with the fact that using a reusable plastic container to prevent further pollution, I think there are more efficient ways to accomplish this goal. An example is that maybe it should be mandatory for stores or public-use buildings to have a recycling bin. Another way to prevent pollution could be having schools require a certain amount of hours of community service which could be effective for more than just plastics. Although these examples are much bigger in scale than what you were going for, I think that if a difference is wanted that we should take bigger action.
