Glass is heavier and breaks into dangerous shards if you drop it. Paper bags get soggy and tear when it's raining. Plastic is used because it's better.

That's a pretty lame straw man argument as I'm pretty sure that virtually every human on the planet learns how to deal with broken glass at some point in their life.

Dropping a full plastic gallon of milk on a childs toe will still break it. Should we ban gallon sized plastic jugs then, too?
