Is that better?
Plastic is a waste product from gasoline production. Is sequestering that plastic waste in a landfill more environmentally friendly than increasing the farmed acres of forest and recycling cardboard?
Or if you compost is the CO2 released in the process and the total lifecycle of the forestry process better than using a waste product from the gasoline process
