"With regard to plastic bags, for example, paper ones do not provide an eco-friendly alternative either, according to the "Deutsche Umwelthilfe" environmental organization. Producing them requires much more energy, and water and chemicals are used that are harmful to the environment. The environmental footprint of a paper bag is thus worse than that of a plastic one disposed of properly."
- exclusiv 9y agoDisposed of properly is a big caveat though no?
- kwhitefoot 9y agoDepends where you are. In the UK it's a huge problem, Norway, Poland, Switzerland not so much.
- exclusiv 9y agoSo basically if you have a population of any size it's a problem.
- kwhitefoot 9y agoAre you trying to say that Poland is sparsely populated? Compared to the UK it is not so crowded but it's hardly sparse and Switzerland is not far behind the UK People per km2 UK: 268 Switzerland: 203 Poland: 123 USA: 33 Norway: 16; but almost everyone lives within 50km of the coast, the mountains and the high plateau are even more sparsely populated.
