"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..

RE :”Put mine in paper.”.... and the clerks would get downright nasty, lecturing me on the rainforest and crap”

South Park Rainforest Shmainforest (1999)
Closing caption: "Each year, the Rainforest is responsible for over three thousand deaths from accidents, attacks or illnesses. There are over seven hundred things in the Rainforest that cause cancer. Join the fight now and help stop the Rainforest before it's too late."

Mr Garrison's class hosts a lecture by choir teacher Ms Stevens, who is leading a childrens choir for the cause, “Getting Gay With Kids.” When Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman disrupt the speech, Mr Garrison sends them to the Principal's office, where Mr Mackey decides that a fitting punishment should be for the four of them to join the choir on their upcoming trip to Costa Rica. The only one who does not object is Kenny, who has grown infatuated with one of the girls in the choir named Kelly.

Upon making it to Costa Rica, Cartman (naturally) becomes the most vocal of the kids, putting down the city as well as the residents of the place, much to Ms Stevens’ exasperation.

Before the presentation the next, day Ms Stevens and the kids are treated to a tour of the rainforest, but end up lost when their guide is eaten by a snake. Their attempts to get out are thwarted as they find a group of revolutionaries, large bugs. Cartman finally has enough and wanders off on his own, finding a logging company.

Even though he has hated the trip so far, Cartman and the loggers manage to rescue the others and Ms Stevens, who have been captured by local natives.

By the end of the entire trip, everyone on the choir has grown disenchanted by the rainforest, and at their choir performance, change the lyrics to reflect the need to destroy the rainforest.

You were not alone. We too always demand paper as the plastic doesn’t break down in the landfill as paper does. It was common knowledge back when the Left, the Environmentalcases pushed to have the plastic bags rather than paper.

The stats about the rainforests back then were so obviously hyped it was ridiculous. I’ve forgotten now what was claimed, but the rainforests would not have existed in a matter of a few months at the rate they claimed.

Environmentalism is just an excuse for lying.
