And like I said earlier in this thread, the more paper bags are used - the more trees will be needed. There is no point using more land to grow trees to make paper bags when a By-product in petroleum plants (which would otherwise go to waste and which requires no large land area to produce) is available to make plastic bags.

Soggy paper shopping bags breaking with glass food containers smashing in the street - no thanks.
