    they prolly ran out themes, so they run a dictionary search that randomizes words every day, and this time it fell on paper, and bag.

    i dont know, i think its retarded as well

    Next thing you see is blank page day, to hide that they can't pay for the server costs anymore.

    TNT has always been this random. Once in a while, they will just create an arbitrary themed day just for the heck of it.

    Actually, it's better to use plastic. Plastic bags are recycled or reused, and can be recycled 90% into new plastic products. Paper is just thrown away and hurts the environments by cutting down trees. When produced, paper generates 70% more air pollution than plastic. :)

    You're right on that, but plastic is able to be recycled into many more things than paper. And paper isn't REALLY biodegradable- about 30% of what paper is made of isn't biodegradable, and newspaper can take over 50 years to decompose.

    Random little environmental tidbits I know. :D

    TNT stands for the neopets team.

    I think the paper bag day is for promoting global environment awareness,
    so that when we go to the grocery store, we should ask for paper bag, instead of plastic bag
    for the sake of the environment.[/quote]

    yeah,
    i guess it is kind funny cause it so random....
    but as promoting wouldnt it be killing trees
    thats much worse then the plastic.....i think
    that everone should use like reusable tote bags
    for grocery shopping.....not plastic or paper
    but i still think its idiotic....and i dont think its
    gonna be that much more longer till nobody plays
    on it anymore...thats just what i think :)

    Most industrial paper...insert arbitrary unsupported percentile...is recycled as it's a huge write off/cost saver so paper bags pretty much have no trees in them. The largest amount of deforestation is due to both human habitation and human food. As in lets clear lands for homes made out of wood and lets clear land for grain...even worse now that food is being foolishly used as a power source. Anyway paper vs plastic is pretty complex and I imagine it's more about politics then actual benefit for the world...like everything else, but I think I'd lean more towards paper just because you can burn it, if you don't recycle it and I'm a huge H-power fan given the proper management.
