    		It is a plastic grocery bag because with they don't get thrown in trash. An animal may come along a they might try to eat it. Then they will get chock on it.

    		But consider the trees that are destroyed by the creation of the paper bags.

    		Paper decomposes more readily than plastic... I'd say plastic is generally more harmful.

    		Plastic is reusable. If the supermarkets charged for the plastic bags it would encourage people to reuse the bags.
