- 09/01/08 09:32 AM
Remember when the question used to be plastic or paper in the checkout line at the grocery store? Well, now it is do you have your own bags or would you like plastic? There are stores even giving discounts if you bring in your own bags. The US Environmental Protection Agency estimates 380 Billion plastic bags are used every year.
