RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Euro NGHad a bit of a conversation with a greenie the other day about the new Farm Boy polypropylene grocery bags, until I just walked away. They were full on adamant that they were made from recycled wood fibre, and were biodegradable.
Look at them, you see that brown tinge? Those are wood fibres! Only use them 3 or 4 times tho, and then replace, cuz they start to weaken with moisture. Otherwise they are great!

You can grow a new one in 30 or 40 years as we will do for our "new" paper grocery bags -- imported from China after being manufactured by Canadian raw logs. It's all under control. :-))
