Paper is made from trees, but this idiots either don’t know or ignore that forests are renewable if for every tree that is cut down two or five, I don’t remember are planted to replace it. Personally I hate plastic grocery bags.
At the commissary in Fort Campbell the baggers always ask if I want paper bags or plastic bags. I say plastic bags because the paper bags are hard to carry for me, even though I prefer them to the plastic bags
I just have them put the paper bag inside a plastic bag. Makes it much easier to carry.
