Because they're wasteful. Do you know how many years it takes for them to disintegrate? THOUSANDS!!! ** Not really. Paper "disintegrates" when wet. The only paper that takes longer to biodegrade are coated with plastic for carrying items that may leak. Oftentimes such bags are used for take out, deliveries or specialized sizes. A typical grocery bag must be kept dry while in use.
The reason presented back when plastic bags were being considered was that making paper bags required us to kill too many trees to make them. Since that time, recycling processes have improved and plastic bags have virtually taken over.
The restoration of paper bags to common usage is unlikely since it is now cost-effective to use plastic bags, despite their impact on the environment due to improper disposal practices.
Some convenience issues include:
Some environmental issues include:
People who are environmentally conscious would use paper bags for garbage since paper bags will biodegrade and plastic bags will not. Also, some municipalities require paper bags for lawn waste.
Plastic bags take a very long time to decompose. Plastic items and plastic bags can be found everywhere nowadays - a walk along the tide line of a beach is proof of that. Cattle may eat a plastic bag that has blown into the field. Animals may become trapped inside a plastic bag. Though plastic is a useful material, care of use and disposal is important to the environment.
avantages are that paper is paper and it's lots easier to find in store so paper is somewhat better
Because if you use plastic bags, then it will end up in the ocean and kill fish, because they will swallow it.

Paper bags are created by using trees - using the pulp in which bags are made from. Paper bags can be recycled. Plastic bags are typically made from oil by-products. Plastic bags can be recycled by it is process is hard. Biodegradeable plastic bags which are not made from petroleum products but derived from our food sources. Cloth bags made from cloth and can be washed and reused. Saving energy and our resources.
we can control the use of plastics by using paper bags instead of polythene bags, by recycling some plastics and using renewable resources.
you could get your head stapled to the paper and will die....
Paper-based databases are prone to errors due to manual data entry and can be easily lost or damaged. They are also difficult to scale and not as efficient as digital databases for searching and sharing information. Additionally, paper-based databases require physical storage space and are not environmentally friendly.
What do you mean by "it"? If you mean, is it better to use your own bags versus using paper or plastic bags, then the answer is "yes." Canvas bags are the environmentally friendliest kind of bags to use, and those made from scrap canvas or organic cotton are best, in my opinion.
