With Thanksgiving, Black Friday, the Holidays all coming up, will try to keep this short as know you have a lot of things to do. Incidentally, didn’t realize that reason they call the day after Thanksgiving ‘Black Friday’ was with all the shoppers taking advantage of the special sales on that day, many businesses see their profit-loss statement go in the black for the year.
Many of us use paper bags. A recent Resource Recycling newsletter article on them started with the statement, “As recyclers, we know better than anyone the numerous benefits of recyclable paper bags. The facts demonstrate the success of a free and fair marketplace for highly recyclable paper bags, a resource that is sought after for its fiber strength and is used in the manufacture of many products, such as corrugated boxes, cereal boxes, wallboard and new paper bags.”
It continued, “These are products that we use every day, proving that recycled paper bags are essential to manufacturing and help preserve earth’s valuable yet finite resource of trees while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.” (Personal note: Besides, I like them better for groceries as they don’t slide around in the vehicle like plastic bags do when transporting the items home.)
