Why plastic bags are better

Next time your go shopping consider that each plastic use take is costs Supermart 1.6 cents, and will cost more every year. Paper is supposedly more eco-friendly so, why doesn't Supermart only use paper? It costs another 1.4 cents a bag. Still think of the size of a paper bag and a plastic bag. It's possible to fit at least 2x as much in a paper bag. Because paper bags are a slightly less then twice as expensive as plastic bags, and can hold more then twice as much, Supermart will save money, help reduce carbon emissions, and look better if it just use paper. Way don't they? Human laziness. The typical bagger doesn't fill a paper bag to its fullest potential. Speed is also a factor. Paper take seconds longer to pack. So, why plastic? Pennies and seconds.
