It would appear that you are, once again, pulling data out of thin air or, ummm, somewhere else. Where is the data on paper consumption? In addition, paper production is one of the most polluting industries we have. Just because you apparently need to waste paper, doesn't mean that the rest of us will experience a reduced standard of living by using cloth bags, which are reusable.
Uhmmm...hate to break it to you...pollution isn't the problem it was in the late 60s and early 70s.
Secondly, most of the paper products we use aren't from America's forests anymore.
Cloth bags. Talk about doing the work for ADM. "Heh, heh, we'll save money on bags by convincing them they should bring cloth bags...", you want to be a tool of big Agriculture, be my guest.
geez, I guess you can fool some of the people all of the time (except me as I'm on to their game.
BRussellNM,
"...pollution isn't the problem it was in the late 60s and early 70s."
You might want to reevaluate...

Paper consumption is up about 10 times what it was before the computer became a household item. Everything is sent out in triplicate and printed four times to get it right, Instead of having a meeting over lunch to discuss it.
"Pollution isn't a problem"
Have you ever lived near a paper mill? The paper process itself isn't necessary. The modern sulfuric acid process which replaced hemp and created the Anti-Marijuana Government/Police Complex was a stock investment/crooked politician conspiracy of the Hearst family. Look it up.
Hemp bags, woven by hand. Baskets made from swamp reeds.
There's a lot of people in New York who will have nothing to do when the stock market melts.
