Annual disposable bags per person under a simple early-2026 statewide policy scenario
Data: Uploaded package us_state_plastic_bag_discard_estimates_2025_package.zip. The package includes state GeoJSON, CSV, XLSX, README, and data dictionary files. Population and policy assumptions are documented in data/README_source_data.md.
Map geometry: State geometries and per-capita bag estimates bundled in the uploaded GeoJSON. The README states they were derived from a local Basemap US counties shapefile dissolved to states.
Libraries: D3.js loaded from jsDelivr CDN. No external basemap tiles are used; all geography is local SVG vector geometry.
Design schemas: This prototype includes four local JSON schemas: ArcView 3.x, German WWII Field Atlas, US News Magazine (1980s/1990s), and Modern Journalism. To add more, drop JSON files into schemas/ and list them in schemas/index.json.
