It is a common myth that choosing paper bags is more environmentally friendly than choosing plastic- in fact, it's worse! Here's why:
1. It takes 91% more energy to produce paper bags than plastic
2. Paper bags generate 70% more air pollution than plastic
3. Paper bags contribute 50 times more water pollutants
4. Paper bags take up more landfill space (2,000 plastic bags weigh 30 pounds, while 2,000 paper bags weigh 280 pounds!)
Although these are all true...you should still choose REUSABLE!!!
