Question:

Why is paper better than plastic?

I have a debate tomorrow and I need to know what ways paper is better than plastic.Not just paper bags vs. plastic bags, but like paper vs. plastic in general. THANKS!

Answer:

Because plastic never biodegrades.. it will always be there and they shouldn't be making new plastic products all the time.. they should recycle what we've already have. Plus you can control tree growth specifically for the purposes of paper production (although this isn't something that always happens either).
Because plastic melts and produces a bad chemical which paper never biodegrades .
Plastic is made from oil, a nonrenewable resource. Paper is made from trees, a renewable resource.
