Excellent your post. The plastic does not degrade easily, it takes many years, apart from the fact that many animals have died from eating plastic bags or being trapped in it. The paper bag is a good idea. Particularly I made a cloth bag to take it to the supermarket, since there are very heavy products that would break the paper bag. Greetings.
animals plastic materials, accidentally in food. They are exposed to a very painful death by breathlessness, blocking the respiratory system. @pantera81
