Trader Joe’s around here still uses only paper, which I much prefer over those dumb plastic bags that don’t hold much before they rip. Killing trees vs. filling landfills with plastic...guess you can’t win, huh?

Not really, you have a third option -- getcher own bag -- even if you have a reusable, tougher plastic bag that you use for a couple of dozen grocery runs, that's good.

The trees used to make paper are raised on farms specifically for paper pulp. This whole “save a tree” thing is ridiculous — they don’t cut down old-growth forests for paper.
