Hasn’t it been settled that plastic bags are better to use because you can recycle plastic bags, evidenced by recycle bins at the entrance to some of the stores, as opposed to using porus fabric bags which introduce well-ducumented problems concerning the spread of bacteria? After all, cleaning fabrics takes energy, a carbon footprint problem according to liberals, and pollutes the environment with detergent.
Mea culpa. Recycling plastic bags must also take energy.
