Which bag damages the environment more? Paper or Plastic..? I know plastic hurts the environment somehow, But doesnt it take trees to make paper? Please answer, i want to know which one i can use to start undoing the crap you greenies has done to the environment, and i dont think me burning my garbage instead of taking it to a landfill, Running my A/C all year round, Have my four TVs on all day, owning stock in the cattle industry, driving an SUV and a truck, and watering my neighbors plants with bleach is enough.

Any suggestions on how i can kill more animals? Maybe i should launch a whale hunting expedition.

Plastic bags are causing more damage than paper bags; especially plastic bags with thickness less than 20 microns.
Though there are many reasons for this fact, the main reasons are:
(i) plastic is not easily biodegradable
(ii) if thickness of plastic bag is less than 20 microns, it cannot be recycled
(iii) plastic bag getting into soil, accelerates soil erosion and cause soil sickness thereby rendering soil to loose its fertilitiy
(iv) the improperly disposed plastic bags are eaten away alongwith other things by the animals causing digestion problems to the animals.

Coming to your point of cutting trees for paper, you%26#039;re correct. But, trees are being felled leaving the base and roots for making paper thereby trees are allowed to have a fresh growth. However, if we are very much worried about conservation of trees/nature, we have to save paper by using them repeatedly number of times and to use them to the extent possible. Further, we can adopt methods of paperless communication, administration, examination, etc. By adopting conservation of paper, we indirectly aid in conservation of forest and environment.

It seems cruel to ask suggestions for killing animals. Animals are also one of the God%26#039;s creation and they form a link in food chain of living beings including humans. If one link is cut in a chain, it will harm all involved in the chain. Further, animals are also forming part and parcel of the ecology and they are having equal rights to live on the earth as human do have.

I hope a person like you who is concerned about better usage of paper and plastic bags in an interest of preserving environment, will not upkeep interest in killing animals though mightier than animals.
