Title: Paper or Plastic?
Post by: Fireman.exe on May 27, 2007, 11:11:12 PM
Which do you find to be easier on the environment? Myself, I think Paper bags is the better way to go, as it's not as dangerous to marine life.

Paper, they're better for the economy because they're bio-degradable.

Some cities make it illegal to use plastic.

If people would learn to throw away their trash instead of throwing it on the ground, plastic would be ok.

Paper you can just throw on a landfill and the Earth will recycle it by itself. Plastic isn't nearly as effective as paper.

Plastic takes a lot of oil to make, which doesn't make it easy to make.

Plus it'll kill fish and babies because most of the time, plastic bags are seen in the sea (Well from what I've seen once when I was on a boat.) and fishes might get caught in them and babies die from plastic bags more than paper bags because plastic is harder to break.

The places here only have Paper. WE gotta reuse them lots, I guess.

Paper. Plastic is not environment-friendly.
