Paper bags are roughly 250 times worse than a plastic bag. Even worse if you color it.

- onion2k 7y agoI'd ask you to cite something that demonstrates evidence for that claim but you'll just post a link to a website funded by the plastics industry. For example - "Paper bags have a much higher global warming potential (GWP)." (http://www.allaboutbags.ca/papervplastic.html http://www.allaboutbags.ca/papervplastic.html) but when you scroll to the bottom of the page you see "Content compiled by the Canadian Plastics Industry Association.". Paper bags are not 250 times worse.
