Paper or Plastic : The Best Answer May be “Neither”

E MAGAZINE.COM: "

Each year, Americans use more than 100 billion plastic shopping bags, consuming an estimated 12 million barrels of oil. After a very short working life, these bags retire to landfills where they take 500 or more years to break down, or become litter that clogs storm drains and threatens marine wildlife.... According to Reusablebags.com, four of five shopping bags are made from plastic, and the average American family accumulates 60 of these “free” bags in only four trips to the grocery store. More than 90 percent of plastic bags are simply thrown away. Arthur Liu, account executive at EPI Environmental Products, says the plastic bags in landfills take up space and don’t allow food and other garbage inside them to break down with the help of oxygen.
