    Where Plastic Bags End Up (Pics)

    Sad deal. So which is better. . .paper or plastic? What should I get at the grocery store?

    MORE PICS

    February 29 2008: Thirteen billion plastic bags are given away each year in the UK alone. Their production and disposal adds to CO2 emissions. And many contribute to pollution problems, and threaten wildlife

    Well yeah, that's the easy answer. How about the pros and cons of both?

    It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

    I'll never understand the the psyche of those who litter. I think it comes down to lack of respect, for the planet, for other people, for one's own health. Of course, even those of us who don't litter contribute to massive landfills that are almost as bad. We need to awaken to the evils of modern packaging and consumption.

    Yup. Crazy. A lot of people still put their faith in the alternative...

    We've got reusable bags from the local grocery store, but it's amazing how often I drop in there without planning it, and don't have the bags with me. Turns out I need the keep them in the car at all times. Must remember to put 'em there...

    yep, there are some steps that should be routine


    (1) get groceries and reuse used bags or use reusable bags

    (2) put groceries away

    (3) put empty bags back in car, backpack, etc.

    Looks like a lot of the Georgia Highways, and mobile home estates front yards.
