Actually, we prefer paper bags. They hold more and we deposit burnable trash in them. (We live rural.) When we go to the incinerator we do a little incantation before ignition. It goes something like "F--- you Al Gore. F--- you Al Gore." We then ignite the fire and circle the incinerator while doing a little dance. Thus far, the response has been good and the Gods have smiled on us.
Omigosh - Frank Costanza, is that you?
We have a little farm and burn stuff including my old files, five years old and older. My son who is a big environment person wanted to give us grief about the burn thing but we talked about landfill, the energy expended for the truck to pick up the files and shred them etc etc and he ended up agreeing that a small fire in the Kansas countryside probably created a smaller “carbon footprint.”
Being a city dweller, I dont have an incinerator. I do use paper bags to lightfires in my wood stove - but that's only two or three nights a week during the winter.
I use the plastic bags for garbage bags on my boat and if I've got too many, they recycle nicely.
My basic problem is Government and Environment Weenies making decisions for me. Think I'll start taking some of used WholeFoods bags to the store to re-use them again. They'll probably refuse to fill them. Idiots....LOL
Paper, plastic, it all burns in my incinerator. You should only burn used tires at night though, otherwise that thick cloud of black smoke will bring every envirowienie for miles to protest and leave garbage all over the place.
...and like Pharoh in the ten commandments, he’s going to end up saying,”their G_D is G_d”. Then brother Al will spontaneously combust releasing even more C02 into the gore-o-sphere.
