Time to go back to paper bags in VA.

Plastic bags were not that great idea to begin with, Wasnt that a ‘save the trees’ idea?

"Plastic bags were not that great idea to begin with, Wasnt that a ‘save the trees’ idea?"
I remember when this started, and the cashiers would ask paper or plastic, and I would always say, " I want to help save the environment. Put mine in paper.".... and the clerks would get downright nasty, lecturing me on the rainforest and crap. I would just tell them "The trees for this paper are grown on tree farms, that get replanted after harvest. Paper will break down in a landfill, plastic will not".... guess I was a man ahead of my time..
