[GreenYes] Plastic from oil

["Marjorie J. Clarke, Ph.D." <mclarke@no.address>]

Yes, I've taken it upon myself to educate every clerk I come 
across.  When they wrap up my single item or two and I have a bag 
with me (which is almost all of the time), I take it out of the bag, 
saying let's save a bag.  Do you know where plastic comes 
from?  Oil!  The Middle East!  Then they go Ohhhh!   They are ALWAYS 
surprised.  I mean, how many high schools do you know that teach oil 
chemistry?  So we have to do it.
