Using coal, hydroelectricity, natural gas and I don't recycle as I feel its a waste of time (don't believe the propaganda, plastic packaging is the main cause of waste, not plastic bags). I walk or catch the train.I have for 3 years now, and I am not a liberal (or a conservative) for that matter.
Then I salute you for your effort. What are you doing instead?
Plastic bags actually take up less space in a landfill then paper and neither degrades once entombed. I read a study that plastic takes 1/2 - 1/3 the volume in a landfill. I think the real issue is surface litter. a paper bag in a parking lot will degrade after a few rain storms, plastic will not.
