Bad Plastic Bags
- and said:
The real downside of plastic bags is where they end up, whether one litters or not. Check out these stories: Seattle Times
especially the latter half of the Orion piece.
Everything’s a trade-off, of course, but even if we carry 2 lbs of cotton totes in our cars permanently (and that’s a lot of totes), the extra fuel required is little more than the amount required to carry a person wearing hiking boots vs. a person wearing moccasins–a choice we never think about.
