There seems to be a great deal of mis-information and dis-information in the marketplace regarding Plastic Bags, Paper Bags, Recycling, Degradability, and a host of other similar issues related to the Environment. Much of this information comes from people and sources who simply don't know any better, but some of it comes from sources with competing agendas and is intentionally misleading. We will try to answer accurately many of the questions and concerns that we have encountered.
