Earth Day, Andrea's B'day and Bill Maher

My Earth Day question is: “Paper or Plastic?”.

Bill Maher in his Earth Day portion of his New Rules segment, made me feel exceptionally guilty for EVER saying “plastic”. So much so, that I’m considering bringing my own recycled burlap rice bags, or something else I have around the house, and saying, “No bags at all thanks. I brought my own.”

So your feelings on the whole “Paper or Plastic?” thing would be appreciated on this Earth Day.

Earth day is also my youngest daughter Andrea’s birthday. My elder two have March Birthdays, so Earth Day puts my Universe back in line with their being “two years apart” at 23, 21 and 19.
