The professor in-charge of the planned debate is a researcher who values high quality arguments, based on solid evidence. She is looking for a news article to use to open the discussion about whether paper or plastic bags are the best option for retail outlets.
Her teaching assistant has found these two articles:

Plumer, B. (2019, March 29). Plastic bags, or paper? Heres what to consider when you hit the grocery store. The New York Times. Retrieved from
