This is a strawman: you insist comparing two harmful options and ignoring others.
For example, in many countries own reusable shopping bags made of cotton.

Intuitively, this makes sense to me: cotton comes from a plant that can be harvested and replanted, just like paper. The main difference is that you use a lot more cotton to make a cotton bag.
