Is paper really better than plastic? Today I deep dive into different grocery bag options for our very first video in our new series, Sustainable Swap Saturdays! Are you making the most sustainable choice at the grocery store? How do you decide? I'll not only be discussing the different bag options, but also telling a bit about what makes each option a more sustainable swap. Which do you choose, plastic, paper, or cloth? Disposable or reusable?
