No, not really
Tom, it may be accurate to describe you as a process, a method of changing water and food into gases, but doesn't that fall far short of really understanding you?
BTW, I prefer plastic, because upon close examination paper production is more damaging to the environment than recycling plastics. It takes energy to pulp the wood, toxic chemicals to soften the fibers, mud for binder that silts waterways; and then at the recycling end the yield of usable paper fibers is rather low. Over their entire lifecycles, I think plastic bags are better than paper for the environment.
