Back then, the problem was paper bags eating up trees at an alarming rate,
so they came up with plastic bags because of ENVIRONMENTAL concerns -- paper
eats trees, eating trees is bad for the environment, so let's use plastic
and save the trees. Not a bad argument as arguments go, and I generally
answered the question, "paper or plastic?" with, "plastic, please."

Now, I am the bad guy again because plastic floats.

Just like a mountain biker: blame the environmentalists. No one forced
you to use plastic.


No one forced you to take a jet to an international environmental
conference, DUH!
