Which is worse, Plastic or Paper? from a survey which i have not finished most people BELEIVE that plastic is worse than paper.
Paper cuts down trees that provide oxygen for living organisms, and trees are also very important parts of biomes. Only some companies replace trees. Most paper is recyclable.

Plastic isn%26#039;t as biodigradable as paper. Plastic is bad for the ozone because the factories that create plastic polutte a lot. Plastic isn%26#039;t as recyclable as paper.

I know i have missed out on many details that matter to decide which is worse.

Please leave your opinon, more facts, or if you know the real anwser leave it. Also if you know any Environmentialists let them know about this so they can help me with my pondering.

P.S. I aplogize for the spelling and grammer mistakes.

Plastic is bad. It turns out its really really bad. Not renewable and not biodegradable at all - It will break up into tiny bits but it%26#039;s basically forever. At least paper is renewable and a natural biodegradable substance. It has to be done correctly of course, there are alternatives. The first thing is to not bleach and reuse, recycle. We could also do things like hemp which could provide all the worlds fiber many times over.

Plastic takes 32 years to deterioate in the ground.
