I remember hearing that plastic bags are actually a better environmental choice over paper, except in coastal areas where the plastic bags cause problems for aquatic life. Is this still the consensus, or... was there ever a consensus in the first place?
You use the plastic grocery bags for bathroom, bedroom and kitchen trash baskets. There was no need to buy plastic trash bags for those baskets before.

Instead of paper, why not ... I don't know what they're called. Some countries sell sturdier bags that are meant to be reused again and again.
