When you go grocery-shopping, do you prefer paper or plastic bags?
I read about it(i dunno if it was on here or somewhere else) that more trees would be sacrificed for using paper for grocery shopping. The problem with plastic is the production process not proper disposal. a single plastic bag I believe takes 100 years to totally decompose. So, I use a grocery bag. The wal mart bag. I try to be as environment friendly as possible :)
Plastic bags are probably the worst polluters that are available. All you need to do is to look at the rivers in Manila. The trees along the banks are 'decorated' with these polluters. Paper bags are more eco-friendly. I prefer plastic bags myself. Plastic bags would lose their anti environment rating if, and only if, they were disposed of in the correct manner.
Neither, because if you use paper your still destroying trees and if you use plastic your polluting the earth. Plastic also does not go away so easy. Scientist say if left alone plastic can last forever. Bringing your own bag that is made out of cloth is the way to go if you want to be environmental friendly.
I would have answered Bayong! But you might think I am a fanatic for the Pera O Bayong segment in Wowowee. I think this bayong (bag made of buli leaves, or whatever organic tree it came from) is not only environment-friendly but economically better, since you only buy it once or twice, and it might even survive the buyer by a good many years. But who the hell goes to a shopping mall carrying a bayong? And it is not among the choices, so what am I blabbering about? Paper! It's simply a piece of paper as the critics say of that unsigned treaty, which is again deviating from the subject. We can so easily burn it! The paper bag, I mean.
