Paper Or Plastic?

I buy groceries too often,
So it’s a decision I make everyday.
Am I saving the planet with plastic?
Or is paper the far better way?

A simple decision for many—
But a definite problem for me.
Do I fill up the landfill with plastic?
Or make paper bags out of trees?

The question come, “paper or plastic?”
And the clerk isn’t willing to guess.
I don’t really know how to answer,
So I simply look up and say, “yes.”
