OIL: Plastic bags produced in the USA are NOT made with oil, but with NATURAL GAS. There is gastronomic difference!! Paper bags use more oil than plastic!! They weigh much more therefore taking up more trucks for delivery.

100,000 sea animals and 1 million birds are killed each year because of the bags. But this statistic, often bandied about by environmentalists, is based on a 1987 Canadian study, which found that discarded nets killed 100,000 marine mammals between 1981-84. In 2002, an Australian government report misquoted that statistic, instead claiming that plastic bags caused the deaths. That fallacy, unfortunately, has stuck with environmentalists and the media ever since.

Discarded plastic bags cause a lot of damage to the enviornment. It would be so much better for the enviornment if it was mandatory practice for plastic bags to be replaced with reuseable cloth bags. Why cant protecting the enviornment and all the life that inhabits it be a choice people are willing to make? By the way, it takes a chemical process to produce plastic bags too.

paper is better man because paper can also be flush in the toilet and it will disolve and later we can use them to fertilize and cultivate land for farming purposes.

in all honesty i dont think that sea creatures such as turtles can choke on paper bags by mistaking them for a jellyfish supper!
But on a plus, you do have a very good point in your video about using fossil fuels to recycle paper.

If chemicals are used to process a paper bag, what about newspaper? In order for newspaper to be used again, chemicals are used to bleach the fiber. So is recycling newspaper a problem too? When any paper product is recycled, it's downcycled. Eventually all paper products make their way to the landfill. Recycling is just, but some things are debatable.

The speaker has valid points. However, what do plastics bags derive from? Answer: Oil, a precious commodity these days. If a paper bag blows into the woods, it dissolves. Plastic does not. On a large scale it can become a nuisance.

Plastic bags produced in the USA are produced from ethane which is byproduct of Natural Gas, no foreign oil would be saved or gained by not producing plastic bags in the United States.
