I think these moves are about making people more conscious of littering which is great and maybe of bushfire risk. With a bit of public health PR for the particular state.
Vehicle exhaust is much more harmful. Think starting the car in the garage and sitting in traffic. A better initiative could be solar busses and everyone has to walk or wheelchair in!
