write about paper or plastic
Answers
Explanation:
Paper or Plastic? You hear this saying almost every time you go to the grocery store. And plastic bags aren't just at the grocery store, there every where, landfills, the oceans and lakes, hanging on trees around our neighborhoods, and suffocating wildlife
b. This is because plastic bags are not biodegradable, so where ever people leave them, they will stay, forever, unlike paper bags
a. Some people argue that the cost of manufacturing a plastic bag is much less than manufacturing a paper bag, but honestly when it comes to saving our environment does a few cents matter
b. Even more people can argue that plastic bags are much more useful than a paper bag will ever be
i. For one plastic bags don't allow things to leak
ii. They are extremely versatile, that one plastic bag that you carried home your groceries in, can be used to line you garbage can, carry your gym clothes to school, and even can be used as a lunch bag, and I'm sure you all have many other uses for plastic bags
iii. As much as I care for the environment, I too am guilty of over using plastic bags, after all they are everywhere, but when I can I use paper
a. I think that using paper bags is better for the environment because
i. Paper is made from a renewable resource, trees. We can plant more trees
ii. Paper bags are biodegradable (a plastic bag would still be in a landfill 1,000 years from now whereas a paper bag would be long gone in about 1 yr).
