Let's Talk About Toxic Paper Bags

We're exposing grocery stores here and their hype.
Here's a report:
About Paper Bags - From the the USDA website “Levels of components such as metal fragments, glue and chemicals may be present at higher-than-acceptable limits and can migrate into the food. These bags may not necessarily be sanitary, particularly since they may be stored under a variety of conditions.”

More from the Pocono Record - “Paper bags generate 70 percent more air and 50 percent more water pollutants than plastic bags. It takes about 90 percent less energy to recycle a pound of plastic than it does to recycle a pound of paper.”

And many, many more like this one - Paper production uses more resources (trees, water, energy), and takes up valuable space in landfills, and requires significant chemicals. Although paper can be biodegradable, typical landfills lack the water, light, and oxygen required for the degradation process. Paper bag consumption contributes to global warming as trees are cut down, reducing our supply of oxygen, and greenhouses gases and toxic chemicals are emitted in the paper production process. Although more paper bags are recycled than plastic, paper requires 91% more energy to recycle per pound.
