I assume you have some scientific evidence to share that shows that plastic bags biodegrade faster? Plastic bags add to an already overwhelming issue of too much landfill waste.

And the solution is not to use paper but to use reusable cloth bags. Buy 10-20 and use them for the next 10 years or more. Easy…and no contrubutions to the waste stream AND no trees being cut down.

I don’t see the problem with plastic bags under the ground. Thats where the material to make the bag came from in the first place and the bags degrade alot faster that 1000 years. Has anyone buried a plastic bag and then dug it up 1000 years later. Stupid!
