“But plastic bags are so convenient!”

It depends on how far you are looking.
A plastic bag may be convenient for a minute or two when you carry something out of the store, but consider these costs:

Plastic bags are made from a non-renewable resource: oil!
Greenhouse gas emissions
Non-biodegradable
Litter
Toxicity
Harm to Marine Life
Choking the ocean
We’re eating plastic

    Plastics made from vegetable oils are non-toxic, and can be made biodegradable or for recycling

    You can make paper from commercial hemp. You can make plastics from hemp oils

    Paper or Plastic? Choose HEMP!

    I choose cloth…but if one must, I suppose if hemp ones were readily available that would be an alternative. Great post, Phil! :love:
