According to the business mirror of the Philippines on March 9, the ban on plastic bags has increased the demand for paper bags and caused a series of environmental problems, including deforestation and more water and electricity consumption to make paper bags. It reportedly takes 17 trees to make a ton of paper and a gallon of water to make a supermarket paper bag. One gallon of water can make 116 plastic bags without logging. Therefore, using paper bags is no more environmentally friendly than plastic bags. The report called for a balanced use of plastic and paper bags, and for regulating the way people dispose of rubbish.
