Paper Bag Day

A paper bag is a type of bag made from paper, usually with an opening at the top that can be closed with a fold or adhesive. Paper bags can be used for a variety of purposes, including carrying groceries, packing lunch, or wrapping gifts. Paper bags are often preferred over plastic bags because they are biodegradable and can be recycled, which makes them a more environmentally friendly option. They are typically made from kraft paper, which is a type of paper that is strong and durable, and can be printed or decorated with various designs. Paper bags come in a range of sizes and styles, from small lunch bags to large shopping bags. Some paper bags also have handles, making them easier to carry. They are commonly used in retail stores as shopping bags, and many restaurants use paper bags for take-out orders. While paper bags are more sustainable than plastic bags, they still have an impact on the environment in terms of the resources used to produce them and the energy required for recycling. However, using paper bags is generally considered a more eco-friendly choice compared to single-use plastic bags.
