One more environmental and health issue to consider

Most people are concentrating and thinking on transitioning to "sustainable" energy for climate change reasons. Here is one more thing to think on, vinyl chlorides. While we can't totally get rid of this ingredient of plastics we can reduce the use by returning to paper for grocery bags, milk cartons, and other containers. No doubt those plastic containers are more convenient and cheaper for the consumer and manufacturer. But it is the transportation and manufacturing processes of those dangerous chemicals and hydrocarbons that create real health problems. "Saving a tree "is a lie. Trees are a renewable resource on tree farm plantations. When was a whole town environmentally destroyed by the paper industry?
We should all go back to demanding brown, non bleached, paper bags at grocery stores if it is even possible. BTW, paper is recylcable.
