I saw an article that went through the pros and cons of paper and palstic, and this article concluded that biodegradable plastic bags are better than paper because they save trees. However, more recently, I've heard that the biodegradable plastic bags do not break down as cleanly as we are led to believe and that they create other problems. I cannot remember where I saw the article, so I was wondering if anyone else knew about the potential hazards of some types of supposedly biodegradable plastic bags.
