Are you for or against paper bags? Why?

Back in the day they told us paper bags was killing the environment and gave us plastic. Now that turns out to be worse. Paper use should be way down now too as people don't read printed stuff as much as they use to. From books to newspaper and flyers.

    The best solution is a reusable bag.  For the majority of Americans who live in areas where they have to drive to the store it's not a big deal.  Just leave the bags in your car and bring them into the store.

    Paper bags cannot be exposed to rain or snow nor can be used to carry liquid.

    One of humanities first responsibilities and only job is to plant seed.

    This insurance selling and hospitality service and etc and etc is true laziness.

    People think that sitting in a chair all day and getting paid big money makes them right, when in turn it makes them sick, overweight, filled with anxiety, confusions and many of them sit all day and curse at their television.

    I am pro paper bags.

    Otherwise, I am pro being free and growing my own garden and answering to no man.

    We are divinely free.

    I quit society years ago to just wander outside in cities and in forests, for real.

    and when you're on the ground level like that, you look up and see that society is rusting, molding, cracking and filled with drunkenness and whoredom and straight up evil.

    A lot of good people in the mix but it's all built upon a great darkness.

    I run in to police constantly, and they hate the free. HATE. And they tell me they cut the trees down in mountains and in woods to prevent people from doing what I am doing.

    Yes there are some travelers or homeless who also commit to trash, but I have watched people in brand new cars open their doors or roll down their windows and throw their trash outside.

    I use paper bags at an extreme, otherwise I carry everything I need out in my arms.

    I don't put my fruit or vegetables in little plastic bags. I just rinse them off later. I carry it all in my hands.

    People are lazy and they dont realize it.

    but, to each their own, I GUESS.
