Maybe I'm Crazy?

Note: I do not have a blog post for September 6th, because I was not in class to trade trinkets.

Look in any lunchroom waste bin and you are likely to see one very common item; the brown paper bag. There are plenty of superior alternatives to the paper bag, so what is it that draws society to keep using this simple creation to carry our lunches? One might argue that it’s for convenience or ease of disposal, but come on, that’s just silly! The true reason why people continue to use paper bags is because of their smell. There is just something about the scent of ground up trees that reminds you of home. Now, this probably sounds crazy to most people, but when you think about it, is it really any crazier than cutting down millions of trees to make them in the first place?
