And it's not just Americans having a plastic culture, Europeans have it too. Actually, even Asians do that, they really love their plastic bags. 😬 Almost the whole world loves those throwaway plastic bags.
I'd read an article this morning; Half of the papers and 40% of the plastics are all packaging materials. Which isn't so very surprising if you look at deliveries with gigantic boxes for a pack of chewing gum for example. 😬
